An Integrated Flux Nebula (IFN) is a complex of visible dust nebulae reflected by an integrated flux of stars in a galaxy rather than a nebula that shines as reflected by a single star, cluster, or cluster. IFNs are relatively better photographed the closer they are to the north and south poles of the celestial sphere, less obscured by the Milky Way, and farther away from the Milky Way. This is because it is very faint, and for the same reason, long exposures and optimal pre-processing and stretching are required. IFN, one of the constituents of the interstellar medium, is composed of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and other elements.

This is a wide-field image of the Virgo galaxy cluster Markarian's Chain.

There are also very faint IFNs in Markarian's Chain, and the messy nebulae in the background in the picture are IFNs.

Also in the picture, light trails are visible around the galaxies M86, M84, and M87, and the intergalactic diffuse light (aka. ICL. Intra Cluster Light) was captured.

The ICL is a field of great interest among various exogalactic studies. Measuring the amount and flow of these ICLs can reveal the history of galaxy cluster formation, and the Virgo cluster is a galaxy cluster that has been studied in various ways related to the ICL.

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.
