Description

Computer model of asteroid Geographos (credit: Scott Hudson)

Scott's work on this asteroid was funded by NASA. As such I believe this to be a work of a federal employee, and as such in the public domain.


If it can be established that Scott was acting as a private individual in creating this image I believe it can be used under fair use provisions in US law. This image is being used on wikipedia educationally, the nature of the image is that copyright can only exist in the layout and colouring, as the asteroid itself cannot be covered by copyright. There is little detraction from the value of the image in our use on wikipedia.
