Image[edit]
All three sources for this story use the same image. I don't know however if we can use the image as well. It does not mention copyright, but it mentions the image is credited by one Jeffrey Hall of Lowell Observatory. Can we use it for the story? [1] ISD 14:02, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

- The source is the Lowell Observatory's press release here. Looking at that page it is clear that the image is being made available for use in news stories but I cannot see a statement that the image is released under a free licence. For this reason I suggest we can use the image under fair use by tagging it with {{publicity}}. Adambro 14:19, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
