LDN 1089 (Jerry Yesavage)

LDN 1089

POE AI Says: Here are some interesting facts about the dark nebula LDN 1089:

1. Location: LDN 1089 is located in the constellation of Ophiuchus, about 500 light-years away from Earth.

2. Size: The nebula has an angular size of approximately 10 arcminutes, which corresponds to a physical size of around 1.5 light-years across.

3. Dark Nebula: As a dark nebula, LDN 1089 appears as a dark, obscuring patch against the background of fainter, diffuse emission from interstellar gas and dust.

4. Star Formation: The dense clouds of gas and dust in LDN 1089 are thought to be in the process of collapsing under their own gravity, potentially leading to the formation of new stars in the future.

5. Molecular Cloud: LDN 1089 is part of a larger molecular cloud complex in the Ophiuchus region, which contains other dark nebulae and active star-forming regions.

6. Infrared Emission: While the nebula is dark in visible light, it can be observed in infrared wavelengths, which reveal the presence of heated dust within the cloud.

7. Embedded Young Stellar Objects: Observations have identified several young, low-mass stars that are embedded within the LDN 1089 dark nebula, providing insights into the early stages of star formation.

8. Outflows and Jets: Some of the young stellar objects in LDN 1089 have been observed to exhibit bipolar outflows and jets, which are common features associated with the accretion and protostar formation process.

9. High-Resolution Observations: Detailed, high-resolution observations of LDN 1089 using advanced telescopes and instruments have helped astronomers study the structure and dynamics of this dark nebula in greater detail.

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.
