Original – The Pioneer plaques are a pair of gold-anodized aluminum plaques that were placed on board the 1972 Pioneer 10 and 1973 Pioneer 11 spacecraft, featuring a pictorial message, in case either Pioneer 10 or 11 is intercepted by intelligent extraterrestrial life. The plaques show the nude figures of a human male and female along with several symbols that are designed to provide information about the origin of the spacecraft.

Reason

High quality, high EV. I'm surprised it's not featured, the nomination from 2008 (!) was opposed.

• Comment – We have a FP of the actual plaque Here. It should be in the Pioneer plaque article IMO. I see more value in the actual photo. Bammesk (talk) 02:59, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

  hmm, I missed that, wasn't able to find it in Featured pictures somehow. In that case, I'm withdrawing the current nomination. Thanks Bammesk! Artem.G (talk) 08:00, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
