Nebula Near NGC 3572 in Modified Hubble Palette.

The nebula featured in this image can be seen in the constellation, Carina. It can be seen just a couple of camera fields of view north of the Statue of Liberty nebula (NGC 3576). I love imaging from the southern hemisphere because I learn about so many interesting deep sky objects I didn't previously know existed. This nebula is one of those objects. NGC 3572 is actually the open cluster at the top of the nebula in this image, but the adjacent nebula is what I find fascinating. While the broader nebula reminds me of a clenched mitten, the real gem of the image is the center of the field of view. The two columns of dust earn this object the nickname, Southern Tadpoles. What is even more interesting is the glowing oval in the middle of the open cluster just above them. It is the subject of some analysis, https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/368098?seq=1, to determine if it is a planetary nebula or a photo-evaporating globule. Say that last phrase five time in 10 seconds without biting your tongue

. In any case, I encourage you to view this image in full frame in order to appreciate these details. The image is displayed with south at the top, because, well, if your were viewing the sky from the southern hemisphere, south is closer to the zenith.

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.
