Wikipedia was slow in updating the front page image for the "In the News...", and a missile take-off image from a story about NASA grounding flights sits next to the following story:

"The Provisional Irish Republican Army announces the end of its armed campaign in Northern Ireland and commits itself to use political means only to achieve a united Ireland."

This image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. The information it contains could be stored more efficiently or more accurately in the PNG format or SVG format.
If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image, derived from a non-JPEG source so that it doesn't contain any compression artifacts (or with existing artifacts removed) and with transparency where appropriate. After doing so, please replace all instances of the JPEG version throughout Wikipedia (noted under the "File links" header), tag the JPEG version with {{obsolete|NewImage.ext}}, and remove this tag. For more information, see Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload.
