NGC 7000

NGC 7000, the North America Nebula, is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. Its resemblance to the continent of North America, particularly with the prominent Gulf of Mexico feature, has earned it its popular name.Visual and Scientific Details

Emission Nebula: This nebula is an emission nebula, which means it emits light of its own, rather than reflecting the light of nearby stars. The red hue of NGC 7000 comes from the ionization of hydrogen, where photons from nearby hot stars strip electrons from their parent atoms, and then recombine, emitting characteristic light.
Location and Size: NGC 7000 is located about 1,600 light-years away from Earth. It spans a region of the sky that's roughly four times the size of the full moon, making it one of the largest nebulae apparent from Earth.
Associated Star: The main star powering the ionization of the North America Nebula is Deneb, which is also one of the brightest stars in the night sky and a part of the Summer Triangle asterism.
Dark Nebula: Within NGC 7000, there are regions of dark nebulae which block the light from behind them, creating contrasts and intricate structures. These dark nebulae are dense regions of dust and gas that could potentially give rise to new stars.

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.
