NGC 7177

This object is a barred spiral ring galaxy located 80 million light years away in the constellation of Pegasus at a declination of +18 degrees. This object spans 2 arc-minutes in our apparent view, which corresponds to a diameter of 55,000 light years. We are viewing the galaxy about halfway between face-on and edge-on.

Although small, I find the structure of this object to be interesting. The outer disk region looks flocculent and fairly undefined, although with a bluish tint in contrast to the yellow inner section. The barred core is bright and has a distinct brown dust lane on the left circumference. A ring has formed mid-disk. Two arms extend from the core, up and down, with the upper arm being brighter and better defined.

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.
