•  Info created & uploaded by Nrisinger - nominated by JovanCormac 11:22, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Info Beautiful artist's impression of our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Unlike many similar pictures (see e.g. File:Milky Way galaxy.jpg) this was made from photographs of another galaxy, giving it the look of an actual photo, rather than a drawing. -- JovanCormac 11:22, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Support As nominator. -- JovanCormac 11:22, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Beautiful? Yes. Encyclopedic? I am not so sure.--2+2=4 (talk) 13:44, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Agree, however I am not sure what is the purpose of this artist's conception of the Milky Way galaxy. IMO the artist's conception looks strikingly similar to any spiral galaxy like this one for example File:Messier51 sRGB.jpg. BTW looks like this particular image was used to make the artist's conception of the Milky Way galaxy.--2+2=4 (talk) 15:34, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
