Reminder: #AltText is not a place for copyright information, or additional details about the image.

Put that into a separate post, for the love of god.

It's as if you were blocking a bike path with a street sign.

The purpose of alt text is increased accessibility, so when in doubt, ask yourself if the text you're adding helps blind or visually impaired folks better understand what's in the actual image.

Reposting this amazing mini-guide on how to write helpful alt text created by @Veron4ica (source: https://veroniiiica.com/how-to-write-alt-text-image-descriptions-visually-impaired/) and found via @karengregory (including Karen's original image description) so that I can pin it.

Happy Monday, everyone!

It was 27 years ago, on December 4, 1996, when NASA launched the Mars Pathfinder, a robotic spacecraft to explore the surface of Mars. It carried the Sojourner Mars rover, which landed on Mars on July 4, 1997.

How would you describe this panorama image of the landing site?
