Tarantula Nebula

A Nebulosa da Tarântula é a maior e mais massiva região de formação estelar conhecida no Grupo Local, com um diâmetro de cerca de 200 parsecs (650 anos-luz). Apesar de ter uma magnitude aparente de 8, é um objeto extremamente luminoso, e se estivesse tão perto da Terra quanto a Nebulosa de Órion, cobriria uma área de 60 luas cheias no céu e seu brilho seria suficiente para causar sombras. Em seu centro, está localizado o aglomerado estelar R136, que produz grande parte da energia que torna a nebulosa visível. R136 é um jovem aglomerado (idade de 1-2 milhões de anos) de estrelas extremamente quentes e luminosas, a maioria de classe espectral O3. A massa estimada do aglomerado é de 450 000 massas solares, sugerindo que ele se torne um aglomerado globular no futuro

English Version:

The Tarantula Nebula is the largest and most massive region of star formation known in the Local Group, with a diameter of about 200 parsecs (650 light-years). Although it has an apparent magnitude of 8, it is an extremely luminous object, and if it were as close to Earth as the Orion Nebula, it would cover an area of 60 full moons in the sky and its brightness would be enough to cause shadows. At its center is the stellar cluster R136, which produces much of the energy that makes the nebula visible. R136 is a young cluster (age 1-2 million years) of extremely hot and bright stars, mostly spectral class O3. The estimated mass of the cluster is 450 000 solar masses, suggesting that it becomes a globular cluster in the future

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.
