Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Earth's Location in the Universe
I think the diagram represents a striking and astonishing fact of nature showing Earth’s tiny scale in comparison to the enormous cosmos we reside it. I believe it agrees with FP guidelines and should be featured for visitors to observe. Note that I marked the image as square because the pano and landscape were too large for the page.

- I guess the first question that would be asked is why isn't this svg? JJ Harrison (talk) 07:01, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
- I used Photoshop and a 3D modeling program for the diagram. I am not very familiar with Inkscape, but I know that parts of the image are not made with vectors meaning that they would not be scalable. It would become blurry. I am not knowledgeable about how SVG works, but I am almost sure it requires all aspects of the image to be vectors. A. Z. Colvin • Talk 02:51, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
- Regarding svg: it is possible to embed raster images into them, but indeed this is usually undesirable. I believe in this case it may be nice to have it in all vectors, using illustrations instead of raster images. Another thing: I much prefer the resolution of File:Earth's Location in the Universe SMALLER (JPEG).jpg. It's easier to take in at full size. And also, it would be nice to have a scale (in lightyears) for each depiction, so we get an idea of how large it gets (and how tiny the Earth really is!). Jujutacular talk 02:58, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
- Regarding vectors: for example something like File:Emblem-earth.svg could be used for the earth image. Jujutacular talk 03:06, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
