Hickson 10

This object, also known as the NGC 536 galaxy group, is a rarely imaged object located 200 million light years away in the constellation of Andromeda at a declination of +35 degrees. The group spans 13 arc-minutes in our apparent view, which corresponds to a span of almost 1 million light years.

Hickson 10 consists of 4 NGC galaxies. From left to right, as identified in the Astrobin mouseover, these galaxies are 542, 536, 531, and 529. The two large spiral galaxies, NGC 531 and 536, have beautifully extended and slightly warped star streams from their disks. They both seem to be under the influence of gravitational effects, likely each other.

I am fascinated by the mid-disk "ring" in the largest galaxy in the image, NGC 536. It looks almost 3-dimensional to me. This galaxy is 3.3 arc-minutes long, which corresponds to a very large diameter of almost 200,000 light years.

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.
