Barnard 133

This object is a dark nebula located in the constellation of Aquila. Like most dark nebula, I could find no interesting information on this object online. This nebula is about 13 arc-minutes in length. My guess is that it is around 1000 light years away, which would mean that its true size is about 4 light years long.

This is the first image of this object on Astrobin, which is surprising to me because it is one of my favorite Bernard dark nebula objects. It is rated at opacity 6 which is the highest (darkest) level. I love the inky deep blackness of the central portion of the nebula, especially when viewed at full resolution. I also like how this deep dust cloud fades out towards the bottom of the image into more like a light dust filter.

I am absolutely shocked that there are no Milky Way stars silhouetted against the central portion of this nebula. None. That seems like a tremendous volume of space (1000 light years long by 12 square light years in area) between us and the nebula for no stars to exist. And I always thought that space was absolutely crammed full of stars.

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.
