Original – On August 31, 2012 a long filament of solar material that had been hovering in the Sun's atmosphere, the Corona, erupted out into space at 4:36 p.m. EDT

Reason: Absolutely fantastic image of part of the sun, it doesn't appear in the sun article at the moment, although I'm sure we could make space for it. This was the runner up image in POTY 2012 on the commons
Articles in which this image appears: Corona, Solar Flare
FP category for this image: Space
Creator: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

Comment I think this is a crop of http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a011000/a011095/304-171_Lighten_Blend.jpg from my understanding on http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a011000/a011095/index.html J Kadavoor J e e 05:07, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Low EV since both articles are well served with images and this one doesn't seem to add uniquely to what already exists. The image quality reminds me of a GIF, with posterisation problems. I appreciate that this is because it isn't real-light-photography here, but still. Also it is small because it is a crop of a larger pic. I don't understand why it did so well at Commons pic-of-the-year. Colin°^Talk 11:39, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I disagree with the low EV assessment. As you point out, the solar flare article is well illustrated by a number of images and videos, but I think this is, by far, the best image on the solar flare article. Rreagan007 (talk) 23:59, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The EV would be better in Solar Flare if it were the lead image. Dusty777 01:51, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
