M92 is in the constellation Hercules, like its more spectacular neighbour M13, but it is a very fine globular cluster in its own right. In absolute terms it is one of the brightest of the globular clusters surrounding our Milky Way galaxy, but, being about 26700 light-years away from us it appears pretty faint, being just visible to the naked eye under good conditions. It contains something like 200000 stars and has a diameter of about 17 light-years (to the circle enclosing half the brightness). Based on spectral analysis (which shows the high abundance of the "primitive" elements hydrogen and helium) it has been estimated that the age of this cluster is abou the same as the age of the universe itself, which is quite remarkable.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
