Trouble with Tribbles (SH2-211 & SH2-212)

"Spock: "Most curious creature, Captain. Its trilling seems to have a tranquilizing effect on the human nervous system."" - Star Trek "Trouble with Tribbles"

SHO Hubble palette of SH2-211 and SH2-212 (NGC 1624) The Tribble Nebula. All 3 channels had great signal with SII have a ton of little detail in the core of SH2-212. SH2-212 is ~20,000 lightyears away and latest estimates put it very young at only 4 million years old, SH2-211 is embedded in the same CO cloud and puts it around the same distance and age. In the image there are also beautiful dark and light dust lanes and a handful of galaxies. A couple of the galaxies are very interesting to me for their sheer distance from us.

PGC168529 (aka WISEA J044026.92+505122.9) lies at a staggering 213.55 Mpc (700 million lightyears) away!
PGC2381043 and PGC2381565 are 330 and 240 million lightyears away.

I utilized ALADIN to find the data on them.

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.
