 * Reason:High ev as lead image in main article. Its a good picture of the planet considering it is the farthest planet(pluto not planet anymore). This image was taken in 1986 just so people know its a little older
 * Articles in which this image appears:Uranus, etc... (lots)
 * FP category for this image:Featured pictures/Space/Looking out
 * Creator:NASA

 * Meh there is nothing exceptional about this image. It looks like it could almost as easily been a blue sphere made in photoshop by a medium-skilled editor. Yes it is probably the original picture people have seen of Uranus, but this original doesn't really show anything of value. Nergaal (talk) 23:23, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 * For comparison, File:Neptune Full.jpg shows many features. Nergaal (talk) 23:31, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Uranus has less surface features than Neptune, that is why this image doesn't have any surface features visible! As I understand it the features on Uranus are visible in the near infrared, you will never see much on a visible light image. - Zephyris Talk 10:28, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Here is an exert from the article about it, "In 1986, images from Voyager 2 showed Uranus as a virtually featureless planet in visible light without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other giants". Spongie555 (talk) 03:55, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Support good EV and decent image quality seeing as it is captured by a probe in 1986. Shows exactly what Uranus looks like. Furthermore, this is, as far as I know, the only high resolution picture of Uranus that Wikipedia has. Purpy Pupple (talk) 22:33, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Support: It is a little "meh" and rather featureless, but I think that planets, like species, deserve to be considered "feature-worthy" no matter how dull, :) This is the best image we have and it's a good size, plus very widely used in article space.   Mae din\ talk 11:21, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
