IC 1805 - Melotte 15 - Core of the Heart Nebula - das Herz des Herznebels

The Heart Nebula is an emission nebula with an open star cluster inside and is located in the constellation Cassiopeia in the northern starry sky.

The object is located around 6500 light years away from us in the Perseus arm of the Milky Way. The emission nebula of gas clouds and dark dust regions consists of plasma of ionised hydrogen and free electrons.

The reddish, foggy areas are illuminated by the stars of the open star cluster. This group consists of several stars with a total mass of about 50 times that of the Sun and other smaller and less bright stars. The cluster included a microquasar that was ejected millions of years ago.

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.
