Comment: Great work on setting up this page, but 'dense atmosphere'? We don't even know if the planet has an atmosphere at all, let alone a dense one. Just thought I'd mention it... Cop 633 03:04, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

My concern about this project is that drawing unseen extrasolar planets is just a lot more speculative than drawing dinosaurs species we have fossils for. Imagine trying to reconstruct T. Rex based with no more knowledge than that it weighed 7.5 tons. And, even with all of the knowledge we have about T. Rex, our user-created image looks like this. While I can appreciate the efforts that go into elaborately rendered surfaces, I wonder if as an encyclopedia we might be better served with a more intellectually modest, schematic style.-- Pharos 20:05, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Noticed somebody cleared the oldest review. According to the analogy with WP:DINO, I created Wikipedia:WikiProject Astronomy/Image Review/Approved Images and linked to it from its parent page. Glycerinester 02:54, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
The image file http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Open_cluster_HR_diagram_ages.gif has an embarrassing error in it, which I sheepishly admit I didn't notice until today. The vertical axis is correctly labeled "absolute magnitude", but the arrow indicating direction of increase points upward, which is the wrong way. That arrow should point downward. Larger numerical values of absolute magnitude indicate fainter stars, which go toward the bottom of the diagram. The creator of the figure has retired from Wikipedia, so it's unlikely we can prevail upon him to fix it, and I have never done even trivial graphics editing. This is an important figure and is used in several articles; could someone make the fix and replace the errant version? BSVulturis ( talk) 02:19, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Image : File:6furcation.gif hase been categorised as a Animations of astronomy. I have made this image and I do not know any raltion of this image with astronomy, but maybe I'm wrong. I have asked the author of the cotribution ( = adding category ) but there is no response. Can anybody tell me is it any relation of this image with astronomy ?

I recently noticed that the journals of the American Astronomical Society have created a "Gold Open Access" option that allows authors to have work published with a CC-BY license [1]. I believe that this would mean that images from these articles could be added to Wikimedia Commons or used on Wikipedia. As someone who has had to search for images with acceptable licenses, I think that this may be useful for some of the articles in the Astronomy WikiProject.
