SH2-155 cave nebula

Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

Sh2-155 (nota anche come Nebulosa Grotta o C 9) è una nebulosa ad emissione visibile nella costellazione di Cefeo. Si individua quattro gradi a SSE della stella ι Cephei, non lontano dal confine con la costellazione di Cassiopea e da M52; si presenta come un oggetto molto debole, visibile con strumenti

di grande apertura oppure nelle foto a lunga esposizione.

La nebulosa appare come un insieme disomogeneo di parti brillanti e nebulose oscure; la parte settentrionale è la meno oscurata e mostra i caratteristici colori rossastri tipici delle regioni HII. La parte meridionale è invece interessata da locali oscuramenti; la nebulosa oscura più notevole, che dà il nome Nebulosa Grotta al complesso, si trova nell'angolo ad ovest. A breve distanza da questa si trova una piccola nebulosa a riflessione, nota come LNB524, che circonda un gruppo di stelle di nona magnitudine. La distanza del complesso nebuloso è stimata sui 2400 anni luce dal Sistema Solare.

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.
