M16 Eagle Nebula

M16, the Eagle Nebula, is a star forming region 5,700 light years away, only 1-2 million years old, 55x70 light years in size, and filled with 8,100 stars! Many of these stars are the hottest and brightest types (O class) in the universe! For perspective, there are less than 700 stars (including brown dwarfs) within 50 light years of Earth, only 8 of which are A type stars (O and B are hotter and brighter). The Pillars of Creation (center) is a dense region of gas and dust blocking the light of many stars behind it. With the heat and intensity of the stars in this nebula the pillars are slowly being eroded and it is estimated they will only be visible for another 100,000 years. To the top right of the pillars are two very bright O class stars orbiting each other. The bottom of the two is 80 times the mass of our sun and 1 million times bright.

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.
