- Oppose - functionally obsolete due to JWST. MER-C 19:54, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- @MER-C: How does that make this image "bad"? No better version exists.
I got the telescope used wrong, it is the Webb.It's a Hubble/Spitzer collab. EF5 20:00, 4 December 2024 (UTC)- It is clearly not Wikipedia's best work. File:Sombrero Galaxy (MIRI Image) (2024-137).png has higher resolution and is at a longer wavelength (=lower resolution). MER-C 10:06, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- I personally think this is one of Hubble’s best images. Are we going to delist half of all space FPs we have because “the JWST” can replicate them? EF5 13:03, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
