Comment why TIF? Tomer T (talk) 14:30, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did not get any other alternative. However, alternatives found may be appreciated. BTW there is no rule "TIF Images should not be FP's" and such, right? Dipankan001 (talk) 15:16, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know such a rule, but not every comment should be according to a certain rule. I don't see why it is tif, one can't open it to full resolution without downloading the file. I think it should be converted. Tomer T (talk) 15:22, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Very nice image. But is this a real image, or a composition? File name is too long and not relevant (it cannot be a Hubble image, as mountains are visible at the horizon...). Description is way too long, not informative about the image itself and completely outside the question. Tif format is no problem IMO, as this format is allowed for Commons uploads. -- MJJR (talk) 21:43, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So you don't believe that this is not a real image? See source: 1. It is from HubbleSite. Dipankan001 (talk) 06:24, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This won't happen before 4 billion years. Yann (talk) 10:49, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is an artists concept, ofcourse. I'm quite sure such picture can not be shot anywhere in the world because all the colliding galaxies seen from Earth are too small to form as clear view as here through the lower sky. The effect of the atmosphere would be strong. This image is an illustration and the credits go to NASA, ESA, Z. Levay and R. van der Marel (STScI), and A. Mellinger. 2 --Ximonic (talk) 13:42, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, not just NASA. I've fixed the credit line on our image description page. --Avenue (talk) 00:53, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support if PD or freely licensed, although I doubt it is. I've launched a deletion request. A very impressive image. --Avenue (talk) 23:33, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Image shows where we will be in a little while. Useful for long term timeline articles. en:Timeline of the far future --Canoe1967 (talk) 19:10, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:This media file has been nominated for deletion why I see people voting!--Neogeolegend (talk) 15:04, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I nominated it for deletion, and still voted (conditional) support here. Maybe it will be deleted, maybe it will be kept, but that can be thought of as a separate decision from whether it should be an FP. Obviously if it is eventually deleted then it will no longer be an FP. --Avenue (talk) 23:18, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
