Buenas compañeros, después de un tiempo sin poder hacer nada, por fin he podido terminar de capturar y procesar esta magnífica nebulasa. NGC 2359 es una nebulosa de emisión en la constelación de Canis Major situada a algo más de 8 grados de Sirio (α Canis Majoris). Su inusual forma, semejante al casco de un guerrero vikingo, ha llevado a que sea conocida también como nebulosa del Casco de Thor.

Se encuentra a unos 15 mil años luz, la estrella que se encuentra en el interior de la burbuja, denominada WR 7 (HD 56925), posee magnitud aparente 11,5. Es una estrella de Wolf-Rayet y es la fuente que ilumina esta nebulosa de Wolf-Rayet. La nebulosidad es el resultado de la interacción entre el viento estelar procedente de la caliente estrella y la materia interestelar. El viento comprime la materia interestelar produciéndose una burbuja de gas en torno a la estrella. La masa de la burbuja se estima en unas 20 masas solares.

Capturado desde mi terraza en la ciudad de Palma de Mallorca, España. Espero que os guste!!

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.
