CG12 & NGC 5367

This object is a cometary globule located 2000 light years away in the constellation of Centaurus.

Bok globules are small dark nebulae which contain dense dust and gas from which star formation likely takes place. Bok globules that are subject to radiation from a nearby star sometimes form tails of gas and dust. These types of Bok globules are called cometary globules (CG), due to their resemblance to a comet. The Bok globule in this image has a very unusual shape, pointed at each end.

The image includes CG12 and its associated blue reflection nebula, NGC 5367. This object is located over 500 light years above the plane of our galaxy, in a place where little gas and dust is normally found. The small galaxy seen just above the center of the image is PGC49788.

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.
