Elias, it seems like ESA stripped the metadata, but it's clearly the same

Can you notify User:Henry von Platen
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Henry_von_Platen> who is the
original author?

This is not exactly a foundation or project problem, but he should be aware
they failed to credit him when they borrowed it (license is CC attribution
share-alike).
