NGC2841

NGC2841 - A galaxy 46 million light years away and 200,000 light years across.

That's right, travelling at the speed of light (nothing's faster) it would take you 46 million years to get to this beautiful spiral galaxy. The light collected two nights ago shows how the galaxy looked 46 million years ago. That's how long it takes us to travel roughly 1/5th around the milky way galaxy.

The small blue galaxy in the bottom left is PGC26572 and is 378 million light years away.

Furthest catalogued object in the shot: The galaxy in the far upper right is PGC2398622 at 1.7 BILLION light years away!

The other small galaxies in the background are around 950 million light years away.

Creator: God
Acquired: 9+hours of 3min sub exposures taken from my backyard in Mobile, AL.

Original, annotated, cropped, and expanded areas of interest (neat blue galaxy from lower left and a collection and what I think is a distant galaxy cluster from the upper right).

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.
