This object is a galaxy group located 0.5 billion light years away in the constellation of Ursa Major at a declination of +49 degrees. The group consists of about 50 galaxies.

The largest galaxy of the group is IC 712, near the center of the image, at over 200,000 light years in diameter.

To the right is the next largest galaxy, IC 708, nicknamed Papillion as shown in the mouseover. Papillion is French for butterfly. This galaxy’s radio emission has the asymmetric shape of one half of a butterfly wing.

The big bright orange star is HD 100597, an 8.8 magnitude Milky Way Star. This star is located 2700 light years away, 200,000 times closer than the galaxies around it.

Abell galaxy clusters encompass massive space and distance and are the largest known gravitationally bound structures in the universe. The Abell catalog consists of 4073 objects - the original 2712 clusters of the original George O. Abell "Northern Survey" of 1958, supplemented with an additional 1361 clusters from the "Southern Survey" in 1989. My Abell galaxy collection is here.

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.
