Nebulosa Trífida - M20

18.05.18 - Santa Eulalia, Perú

Hace 5200 años, inició la construcción de las pirámides en Egipto, pero al mismo tiempo, también inició el viaje de los fotones de luz de esta nebulosa, llamada Trífida o M20.

Mientras su luz viajaba por el espacio, la Tierra pasó por la edad de bronce y la edad de hierro. Luego vino la edad media con las cruzadas, y 500 años después el descubrimiento de América. La luz de la nebulosa continúa viajando por el espacio, cada vez más cerca.

Vino la revolución industrial, y la invención de la cámara en el año 1826. Años después la 1era y 2da guerra mundial. Vino la posguerra y finalmente, la era de la información que vivimos hoy en día, en la cual afortunadamente, contamos con máquinas que pueden convertir esos fotones en los pixeles que integran esta imagen.

La nebulosa Trífida fue descubierta en 1752, y su nombre está basado en los 3 lóbulos de la zona roja, primordialmemte conformada por hidrógeno. La zona azul es oxígeno, el cual está iluminado por las estrellas a su alrededor.

Por su tamaño, se especula que tiene unos 300,000 años de edad!

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.
