See Commons:Deletion requests/File:Nova a.jpg and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Draco nebula.gif - it is not image from NASA but from ROSAT (german satellite), so "This file is in the public domain because it was created by NASA" cannot be used - maybe other licencing is possible Bulwersator (talk) 17:13, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding File:Rosat_0.75kev_diffuse_background_map.gif: I've added this "Credit: The Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, Snowden et al. 1995, ApJ, 454, 643" to the article on WikiPedia where the image appears. There is no copyright notification at the bottom of the page, url=http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/know_l2/diffuse_figure3.html where the image appears indicating that the image is in the PUBLIC DOMAIN. If you like I will try to get in touch with Snowden for specific permission for the image to be here. I don't know if this applies to The Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics or not since they probably funded Snowden. I did this with File:Draco nebula.gif; i.e., got permission from the originators (authors) and re-uploaded the image. What do you think? Marshallsumter (talk) 00:52, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This file was initially tagged by Fabian RRRR as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: Author is Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, not NASA. Yann (talk) 16:17, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've sent an email to Dr. Hannelore Hämmerle, the Press Officer for The Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, to find out the status of both images: File:Rosat 0.75kev diffuse background map.gif and File:Rosat 0.25kev diffuse background map.gif regarding Public Domain. --Marshallsumter (talk) 16:59, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've received a response from Dr. Hannelore Hämmerle: "as long as Credit is given for MPE, we normally allow use of our material. We only restrict/deny it, if it is used in an advertorial or commercial context (educational/science books excluded).
I'm not familiar with USA fairuse, but it is definitely not public domain." I will upload File:Rosat 0.75kev diffuse background map.gif to Wikiversity under USA fairuse. --Marshallsumter (talk) 18:36, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
