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.

With Curiosity up there now, there's no need to keep passing this fake picture around.

Dude, that doesnt make any sense, the earth is infinitely flat we all know that. And isnt Mars from that tv show?

[–]Semilogical 16 points17 points ago

The bad astronomer wrote a good blog piece about this image which is taken from a planetarium program.

[–]angelok91 16 points17 points ago

Sagan did it better.

[–]ThatFuh_Qr -1 points0 points ago

one problem with this picture... although Voyager 1 passed pluto in 1990 NASA just recently announced that Voyager 1 had reached the end of the heliosphere; which is considered the "edge" of the solar system.

[–]Dannybaker -1 points0 points ago

oh my sagan!

[–]Effetto 10 points11 points ago

Artificial image, as someone else pointed out.

[–]lisabadcat 4 points5 points ago

I am not in Orion's nutsack.

[–]Thracks 3 points4 points ago

This. Is. Not. Real.

It's a picture taken from a program that allows you to simulate what the sky might look like under programmable conditions.

[–]FOR_SClENCE 5 points6 points ago

Not real, guys. You're not there, because that's a render. I can't find the article I used to debunk it on facebook, but you can see the "NE" in the lower left corner. It's a program, not an actual image.

THIS is an actual image.

Note the sky color, blue light coming through, and the muted ground coloration.

[–]thisishow 4 points5 points ago
