Comment Does not add much EV to article. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:10, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
well, it shows simulated Moon dust quite well. I've also added the photo to Lunar regolith simulant. Artem.G (talk) 19:31, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It feels fairly poor of a photo, especially given it's barely at resolution. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 20:40, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support — Barely meeting the technical criteria is still meeting the technical criteria, and as a photo I find this both interesting and informative. If it passes, I would use it to link to lunar regolith simulant rather than lunar soil, as I think it's more illustrative of the former rather than the latter.
