Nomination withdrawn - It looks like is was a mislabel by the ESA, I don't believe it was taken by the Hubble's WFPC2 if it was then it would be PD, but on Davids website he says it was taken by UK Schmidt Observatory.Chris H 16:54, 25 May 2007 (UTC) Not promoted --Makeemlighter (talk) 03:24, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
