The lovely thing about an artist's impression is that it can stand in for something similar.
The lovely thing about the image collection at the European Southern Observatory is that the images are available under a CC "Attribution 3.0 Unported" license, which is compatible with the FenWiki's CC "Attribution NonCommercial 3.0 Unported" license.
Put those two thoughts together, and what do you get? A collection of images that we can use on the FenWiki, as long as we give attribution - like so.
I've added some to the FenWiki already, mostly on the pages that they're actually images of. But I've only scratched the surface... Here's a list of some artist's impressions from the ESO collection that haven't been used on the FenWiki... yet:
Artist's impression of the triple asteroid system, 87 Sylvia
The double asteroid Antiope
An asteroid that has split due to rotational fission (artist’s impression)
Asteroid Barbara (artist's impression)
Artist's impression of the asteroid Lutetia making a close approach to a planet in the early Solar System
Artists’s impression of one of more than 50 new exoplanets found by HARPS: the rocky super-Earth HD 85512 b
GJ1214b (Artist’s impression)
Artist’s impression of GJ 1214b
A Planet Around a Hot Star
