True color simulated view of Jupiter, which is not based on a single image
With the multiple photos of Jupiter we have in Commons, surely there would be a larger file that's also in true colour. Would anyone care to put in the effort for finding one since the current image's technical quality is bothering the hell out of me. ZZZ'S14:58, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The current image quality looks good to me, and it satisfies the image criteria for planetary objects. Cf. MOS:ASTRO: "Show the article object as viewed in natural light, without enhancements of specific spectral bands or frequency shifting". Praemonitus (talk) 18:15, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Someone changed it again to New Horizon's image which shows Jupiter in false color. New Horizons lacks proper filters to establish a true color image. Only crude approximations can be made. In case of Jupiter flyby, we see there's olive-green color and that simply doesn't exist there. I changed the picture and then someone reverted the editing "because it's too small". That is not a valid criterium. A small photograph of a lion with a normal camera, would obviously be prefered to a larger, false color thermal image. Why not planets? There is a continuous annoying effort online to represent bodies of the Solar system as they don't appear. Lajoswinkler (talk) 14:18, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that'd work. It's too distorted and not very conducive to what it would actually look like from a human's point of view. The Hubble photo that recently got swapped in is far better; I don't know why I had even added the New Horizons photo there in the first place.
