[edit] Pleiades
This is a stunning image I came across while reading star. It's used in quite a few articles, and is also used as the image in the star-stub template. First uploaded by Worldtraveller, the photo is from NASA.

- Support for what is surely the largest list of articles linked to a file I have seen in a long time -- Chris 73 | Talk
- Its on all those articles because its used as the astronomy stub icon. --Deglr6328 02:04, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- Support - original version was too small. uploaded larger version. --Deglr6328 02:04, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- Support Almost looks computer generated. Fantastic, although it is noisy at full res. --Fir0002 07:46, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- Support although it's annoying that it's used as an icon for a stub category--I can't tell what articles it's on for the image itself! ~MDD4696 (talk • contribs) 03:01, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- Support, although I would prefer to have a picture resized 50% to get rid of the noise. Titoxd(?!? - did you read this?) 20:56, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- Done. I also removed a couple of dust specks around the star Merope, these specks were obviously on the photographic film when it was scanned. I'll leave it to somebody else to minimize file size, I uploaded at max jpg quality. This is a stunning image, will support any version. --Janke | Talk 07:30, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- Support either version. This is a truly arresting photo. Too bad so many of the featured pictures are taken by NASA, though... oh well. -Vontafeijos 16:58, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
