NGC2237 L FINALEa

La Nebulosa Rosetta (nota anche con le sigle di catalogo NGC 2237 e C 49) è un'ampia regione H II di forma rozzamente circolare situata ai confini di una nebulosa molecolare gigante, nella costellazione dell'Unicorno.

La nebulosa ha un diametro angolare di 1,3° e si trova a una distanza di 1600 parsec (circa 5200 anni luce)[2] dal sistema solare; ha una dimensione approssimativa di 100 anni luce.

Al centro della Nebulosa Rosetta si trova un brillante ammasso aperto, noto come NGC 2244; le stelle blu dell'ammasso, facenti parte dell'associazione OB nota come Monoceros OB2, emettono radiazione ultravioletta, che eccita il gas della nebulosa portandolo ad emettere luce rossa. Si pensa che il vento stellare del gruppo di stelle O e B eserciti pressione sulla nube interstellare causando una compressione, seguita dalla formazione di stelle; nella regione infatti sono stati osservati molti globuli di Bok, ritenuti sede di formazione stellare.

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.
