Fair use for Meteor astronomy edit

To illustrate meteor radiation in the form of a fireball meteor captured in this still photograph over Chelyabinsk, Russia, its detection and effect, since no picture can be obtained of meteor radiation itself (the image is of the fireball cloud and some apparent burning left after meteor passage).

The image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use as:

  1. It is a scientifically significant photo of a meteor astronomy phenomenon.
  2. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
  3. The photo is only being used for informational/educational purposes.
  4. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the phenomenon depicted in the article and how it has a significant impact on meteor astronomy to the general public.
