Spot the odd one out.

A4292985

You missed one: A54788809

There are many such pictures. But one of them is different from all the others.

Uranus, because it's axis appears to be north to south??

How about this as an illustration for my Sirius entry:

'You cannot be Sirius!'

Do you mean artistically? Like the odd little squiggle that ‘mouse over’ brings up an incorrect ID? Or that Venus doesn’t display cloud layers in visual light?

Or technically, like Venus is the only terrestrial planet of the three. Or Jupiter as it’s the only one with ‘proper’ rotation as the other two are ’technically’ retrograde.

Which one has an incorrect ID?

speaking of sirius - 'dog star' spelled backwards is 'rats god'

'dog star eats god' would make a great palindrome except for that dadgum 'e' - it's really annoying.

>Which one has an incorrect ID? <

Put the mouse-over the squiggled S in the bottom R/H corner next the Artist's signiture and you get 'Painting of Eris, the largest dwarf planet'.

Oops... 'The planet Uranus' that is.

No you don't.

I agree, the alt is correct, on the entries too

just curious, waiting to find out. I can't begin to think - I need a clue - a big one!

Could it be that three of the pictures are professional quality ones suitable for Edited Entries and one is just cobbled together quickly?

No, all four of them are on Edited Entries or ones that are about to be Edited soon, so it can't be that.

I don't get any mouse-over information. Is that because I is Chromatic?

I is chromatic too - and I am hoping that when we find out the answer it will be really thrilling

I've been informed of this problem before, have a mouse-over on any of the piccies here:

A45986296

and let me know how you get on?

At risk of being a bore and with a promise that this will be my last word on the subject, I will state again that what is coming through my end of this pipe is a message that the Uranus drawing is a ‘Painting of Eris. The largest dwarf planet‘.

On looking at it more closely I have ascertained that it is the same mouse-over message that is correctly attributed to the picture on A55393608 the pending article by Shagbark.

Not only that, but on my version of the picture, (which I assume is different to those you can see), the squiggle S that I am referring to, is the last letter of the rather badly drawn title ERIS in that article.

Also, my version of the picture is oblong, wider that its height, and includes the strip of the picture above the errant S. Apparently this strip of the Eris picture has managed to tag itself on to my version of the Uranus one. I have no idea how or why.

This may or may not be a fault at my end, I am not technically qualified to know. I supposed it may be to do with the caching perhaps? but clearing temporary files etc has made no difference it still remains there. However, if it’s not causing a problem then no doubt it can be safely left to someone who might care more about it than I.

‘Nuff said.
