- Conditional Support The fact that this is a 'false-color composite image made using infrared, green, and red wavelengths' needs to feature much more prominently in the article caption in particular. JJ Harrison (talk) 06:11, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

- Weak Oppose It looks cool, it has prime placement in the article, but I question the encyclopedic value of a false color image in regards to illustrating the topic as required by the criteria. I realize a plain picture is just yellowish brownish dust but either this image doesn't add much or the caption both here and in the article does a horrible job of telling us what is being shown and why it's important.

- Conditional Support if the issue of false colour is adequately addressed. With sufficient effort it seems one can download LANDSAT7 data directly [1][2], which I imagine comes in separate TIFF images for each channel; and presumably the wavelength sensitivity for each channel is known. The technical quality and value of this image is very good otherwise. As a side note, why aren't there any ground level photographs of this place in the article?
