Man, I wish Carl Sagon could have seen these pictures.

The JWT version has been my desktop background since they were released. It's hard to find really good ultrawide backgrounds without losing part of the image but this was the perfect shot for it.

Mine too! I've got lots of space pictures on rotation, but this is one of them

Doesn't look like pics are showing up on mobile, maybe because of the resolution? I'll try some in the comments instead.

Hmm, it isn't for my jerboa

Edit: nvm, just needed to restart

on connect I can't see the first picture, I assume that's the other you posted on your comment? it may depend on my device, maybe?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes it is. Maybe. They are very big pictures since they are the desktop background quality ones, so maybe the load attempt is timing out?

[–] rodolfo 2 points 1 year ago

well preview can fail, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't download when viewed one by one. with rif app I could see hi res pics, so my mobile hw should be okay... just to share some info.

thank you
