The Clamshell nebula Sh2-119

Sh2-119 is a diffuse nebula observable in the constellation Cygnus.
Its shape appears similar to two shells that are arranged to the east and west of 68 Cygni; the eastern part is the largest. In the southern part, thin filaments and cocoons of dark nebulosity are visible, which contrast strongly both with the light of the nebula and with the rich star field in the background. The distance of Sh2-119 is estimated at 2200 light years from us.
🌟 Its beauty stands out with a variety of colors ranging from deep blue to fiery red. This nebula is the result of the interaction between young massive stars and the surrounding gas, creating an explosion of colors and striking shapes. 🌠 The image clearly shows the clouds of gas and dust that make up this stellar region, while the light from the illuminated stars helps to create a surreal and fascinating atmosphere. 🪐⭐ #Astronomy #Nebula #DeepSpace

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.
