Image overwritten

[edit]

@StellarHalo: While I agree that the version you have uploaded is subjectively better looking, are you absolutely certain that it is objectively improved in all possible contexts? I think your effort is really useful, but would it not have been more appropriate and in accordance with COM:OVERWRITE to upload a new derivation instead? I hope you do not take this the wrong way, but the purpose of the images extend beyond aesthetics to scientific data, and I would pose the hypothesis that the image you uploaded may compromise some of the original information, such as for instance information about the atmosphere at the moment of capture. What is your opinion on this matter? Askeuhd (talk) 06:57, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Askeuhd: I only overwrote the image because NASA enhanced it themselves, as said here. StellarHalo (talk) 15:11, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@StellarHalo: Great! If a EO image is available I usually upload that to begin with, but clearly they have not all been uploaded to EOL. Thanks a lot for the clarification. Askeuhd (talk) 08:31, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
