Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Am I the only one who thinks it would be impossible to see all 3 planets so close in the sky? Their orbits would be opposite each other on Mars.

It took me a minute to notice, but I knew there was something familiar about that...

Nine eleven!

I am content that I have downvoted this, doing my part to prevent reposts and fakes on reddit.

[–]Rand0mSynth3sis 0 points1 point ago

What are those? Planets for ants?

[–]RedPhalcon 0 points1 point ago

In case anyone is curious, I found the source. It was a blog showing what WOULD have been seen, if communication with the Spirit rover hadn't been lost. He was following along the whole time:

I liked seeing this, even tho it's a "what could have been" I'm seeing Venus, Mars and Jupiter in my early morning sky every morning before dawn here in Florida. Dec 2012 is coming... Been 25 K years since they've all been aligned. That fact is awesome. (all planets) Not thinking of the Maya calendar.

We look like Orion's belt...neat

[–]fondupot 2 points3 points ago

im curious how Jupiter gets in this photo because isnt it behind mars in relation to Earth and Venus.

[–]happywaffle -2 points-1 points ago

FYI, this picture is from two years ago.

[–]firemogle -1 points0 points ago

That is awesome!

[–]Amaranthine -2 points-1 points ago

Simply breathtaking...

[–]Rohan21166 -1 points0 points ago

Amazing.

[–]kesk2006 -2 points-1 points ago

Incredible.

[–]sleepyfish -2 points-1 points ago

sometimes I think I could get more karma if I repost stuff in the same day.

[–]Kahlnen -4 points-3 points ago

Is there a high-res shot of this? This is beautiful.

[–]Saneinsc -5 points-4 points ago

Gigity

[–]nykana -2 points-1 points ago

For those of you confused as to how all three planets could be aligned (I know it took me a minute) here's a handy site, showing that they are in fact partially aligned today.

[–]abortionalchild -4 points-3 points ago

It reminds me of when airplanes are trafficking to land. Really pretty!

They have cardinal direction markers on Mars? Really? Edit: this image is a proven fake. Shame on the OP.
