Original – Composite images using data from SINGS and the Hubble Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope, such as this infrared image of the Sombrero Galaxy, are among the best images of the sampled galaxies to date. (taken from Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey))

Reason

• Oppose - functionally obsolete due to JWST. MER-C 19:54, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

@MER-C: How does that make this image "bad"? No better version exists. I got the telescope used wrong, it is the Webb. It's a Hubble/Spitzer collab. E_F⁵ 20:00, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

It is clearly not Wikipedia's best work. File:Sombrero Galaxy (MIRI Image) (2024-137).png has higher resolution and is at a longer wavelength (=lower resolution). MER-C 10:06, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

I personally think this is one of Hubble’s best images. Are we going to delist half of all space FPs we have because “the JWST” can replicate them? E_F⁵ 13:03, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
