Fair use

This image qualifies for fair use in the articles RD1 because:

  1. It helps illustrate how little is known about this distant and hard to detect object.
  2. Furthermore, the image provides visual identification, something that would be impossible to do purely in a text form.
  3. There is no freely available alternative to this unique image since it is not a frequently photographed subject and is beyond the reach of amateur astronomers.
  4. The image has been previously published on the NASA site noted and is assumed given its nature to also have appeared in relevant academic journals.
  5. Display of the image, will not comprise commercial exploitation of the image as the usage is for non-profit, academic purposes. # Additionally academic interest in the image may in fact be encouraged by its use here, given that its subject is not well known.
  6. Displaying this simple image of a poorly known object on a non-profit website (Wikipedia) should cause no financial loss to the copyright holder(s).
