editIn the top image on [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg4yqepr469o], what's the blurring on Wilmore's chin? Any ideas? --Dweller (talk) Old fashioned is the new thing! 12:25, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- Looks like a bandage. It's visible in some Google Images pics. But I can't find an explanation. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 12:47, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- I only see it on pictures of him in a space suit, but it is present on a picture associated with a postponed launch (so it probably wasn't a shaving accident). I see that his chin is much closer to the collar of his space suit than is Sunita Williams's chin to her collar. I wonder if it was chafing. One size doesn't quite fit all? -- Verbarson talkedits 17:36, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- Possibly a protective anti-chafing patch. --Lambiam 21:12, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- Seems likely. Thanks. --Dweller (talk) Old fashioned is the new thing! 15:14, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
