Reason: Significant EV as one of the few high quality images on Wikipedia of a likely black hole, instead of being an artist illustration. This image of Cygnus X-1, which was the first strong black hole candidate to be discovered, was taken by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory.
Articles in which this image appears: Cygnus X-1, Astrophysical X-ray source, and recently added to Chandra X-ray Observatory and Black hole
FP category for this image: Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Space/Looking out
Creator: NASA/Chandra X-ray Observatory

Oppose - Looks like it was upsampled. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:26, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too little resolution, if you ask me. Probably not possible to do this any better, but even then not sufficient for candidacy here I suppose. --Tremonist (talk) 13:56, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Black hole depicted white here, by the way. I understand the historical importance of this image though, which surely was the main reason for this nomination. And if this competition were about history, I would have supported, of course. --Tremonist (talk) 14:00, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Tremonist quote from the Black hole article: "In the case of compact objects such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, the gas in the inner regions becomes so hot that it will emit vast amounts of radiation (mainly X-rays), which may be detected by telescopes."--Pine^✉ 16:27, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Of course! That's clear. I know what a black hole in theory is. Above, I was just kidding. --Tremonist (talk) 16:37, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Too little resolution to be a featured picture, would be very unimpressive on the main page. Mattximus (talk) 16:13, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination per consensus above. --Pine^✉ 16:27, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
