The_Space_Jockey.jpg‎ (781 × 423 pixel, file size: 52 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

Image of the Space Jockey seated on what appears to be a telescope. A screenshot taken from the movie Alien.

I took the previous version of this image (which was a screenshot saved as a 24-bit PNG) and re-encoded it as a JPEG using WinGIMP. The PNG was more or less around 490 Kbytes, the resulting JPEG is about 34 Kbytes. I believe this would considerably lighten page-load for us dial-up and/or CDMA 2000-1x users (like me, who pay for our internet connection per kilobyte).

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots

for identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
