•  Question IamMM, can we please have the NASA original as an alternate? It's much bigger, and I would favor it. If there isn't time, I think we should do a remove and replace nomination of the original. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:06, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

• @Ikan Kekek: I put the original version of NASA as alternative. @Kritzolina, Radomianin, Cmao20, Aristeas, Daniel Case, Ermell, Agnes Monkelbaan, Schnobby, Llez, and Johann Jaritz: Please comment on quick remove and replace the new version. -- IamMM (talk) 21:37, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Alternative

•  Support -- IamMM (talk) 21:37, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Support I favor this, as I mentioned above. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:35, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Thank you, Ikan, for drawing our attention to the original file. Of course at the first glance I can’t discover much additional information in this file – it has got more pixels but they are less sharp. But on the other hand I also can’t see what “digitally enhanced by rawpixel” has enhanced in the other version (besides downscaling it and increasing the contrast a bit). Because both versions are more or less equivalent for me, I think we should feature the original (this one). --Aristeas (talk) 09:10, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment They are equally sharp at the same size, in my opinion. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:50, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Support OK for me. (I've striked out my support above.) -- Radomianin (talk) 11:35, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
