@VincentPrivat My pleasure. Over ten years ago, we went through a long debate at ESA about which CC licence to use as the default for image releases. We favoured CC BY, but our lawyers insisted on CC BY-NC.
As we knew that CC BY-SA was the minimum level of “permissiveness” that’d allow images to appear on Wikipedia, we argued & won that compromise.
That’s why I used CC BY-SA for my image: so it could end up on Wikipedia for people to share. Happy to know it’s there already 👍
Enter the Dragon 🐉🥋
Here it is – my new JWST image of the young protostellar outflow system in Cassiopeia called HH288, aka The Dragon Jet.
We discovered it in the 1990s & the NASA/ESA/CSA JWST reveals stunning new detail, including several new jets crossing the main dragon 🙂👍
This is a 4K version – you can view & download the full 12K image here: https://www.flickr.com/gp/markmccaughrean/944q5814f8

J'ai quelques échos critiques (sur X) sur la prise de vue faite par le département de Côte d'Or versée dans @panoramax
Les articles de presse et déclarations des uns et des autres sont souvent approximatifs et méconnaissent les détails.
Voici donc quelques précisions dans ce thread :
- le département de la Côté d'Or a faire faire une prise de vue l'été dernier par une entreprise spécialisée (Immergis)
- leur besoin était avant tout pour la gestion des routes départementales

La vérif de l'âge est la ligne rouge et les gouvernements devront assumer publiquement de bloquer #Wikipédia
“We’re in talks with Ofcom, but we will not be identifying users under any circumstances. We will not be age-gating Wikipedia under any circumstances. So, if it comes to that, it’s going to be an interesting showdown, because we’re going to just refuse to do it. Politically, what are they going to do? They could block Wikipedia. Good luck with that,”
