Submission Rules
- Include the subject/spacecraft/mission in the title.
- Include the resolution in [brackets] in the title.
- Only submit static images.
- Videos, collections/albums, interactive images/websites, and articles are not allowed.
- Original source is allowed and preferred over the approved hosts. If your submission is not on the list of approved hosts, but it is an original source, please use the tag [OS] so your submission is not removed in error. If your image is rehosted from another approved host it will be removed.
- If you took the photo yourself, you can signify this by using the tag [OC] (original content) and after 24 hours you will be given special flair. If you don't receive flair after a few days feel free to message the mods.
When submitting particularly large images, please avoid posting to Imgur as it compresses the image. Min.us allows posting of large uncompressed images.
