Rosette Nebula (Bortle 9)

Do flowers grow in space? While they may not, the Rosette Nebula is a beautiful cosmic flower blooming in the constellation of Monoceros. This spectacular nebula is located in our Milky Way galaxy, approximately 5,000 light years away from Earth. The nebula has a diameter of about 130 light years, making it one of the largest emission nebulae in the sky. It gets its name from its resemblance to a four-petal rose flower in full bloom, due to the presence of four luminous stars in its center. This star-forming region is filled with ionized hydrogen atoms that give off a characteristic red glow, making it an amazing target for amateur and professional astronomers. The Rosette Nebula is an area of active star formation, with many young stars and stellar clusters being born in its midst. Its bright colors are the result of glowing hydrogen and oxygen gases, along with a dust of cosmic particles. This process of star formation and destruction has been taking place over millions of years, making the Rosette Nebula one of the most beautiful sights in the night sky. Imaged by me from the city (Rishon Le-Tzion, Israel, Bortle 9) during 7 nights in January 2021, but processed only now in 2023.

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.
