Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Earth's Location in the Universe

 
Original - A diagram of Earth’s location in the Universe in a series of eight maps that show from left to right, the Earth, inside the Solar System, inside the Solar Interstellar Neighborhood, inside the Milky Way, inside the Local Galactic Group, inside the Virgo Supercluster, inside our local superclusters, and finally finishing inside the entire observable 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 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)[reply]
  • 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!).
