  • Strong support. Excellent quality, adds greatly to the article. Amphy 16:37, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very Strong Support This is a fantastic picture. There is a truely remarkable depth of detail. It is both aesthetically pleasing and scientifically fascinating. The Bok globules, the lobes of Eta Carinae, the visceral impression of the violence associated with the birth and the death of stars. (Particularly very large O-type stars.) This is one of the best astronomical images of all time. (Although that is a large list.)

  • Support. Yep, no way anybody could not find this enchanting and mystifying... who would have thought that space could be so beautiful? Although, having said that I find the stars beautiful in themselves... but yes, this is something altogether different. --Vaelta 08:37, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I am...at...a loss...for...words.... Breathtaking. J Are you green? 01:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I also recommend including a link to the zoomable version wherever this is placed. It shows the true power of astronomical cameras. Also, it's worth noting that this is Hubble AND CTIO. The people responsible for the image (Nathan Smith, John Bally, and others) should probably be credited. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Keflavich (talkcontribs).

  • Support Sorry, last time I checked, this wouldn't qualify for Featured picture. National Geographic is 3 blocks down. · AndonicO Talk 18:40, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support To my mind, this is as pleasing aesthetically and as valuable encyclopedically as Image:Polarlicht 2.jpg (which illustrates a wholly different subject, to be sure, but a similarity to which one must perceive), which earned Commons POY in 2006. Joe 02:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy support I think it's fair to say there is a consensus here. Noclip 17:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
