The Core of the Question Mark NGC 7822 (Mau_Bard)

The Core of the Question Mark NGC 7822

NGC 7822
NGC 7822 is a young star forming complex in the constellation of Cepheus. The complex encompasses the emission region designated Sh2-171, and the young cluster of stars named Berkeley 59. The complex is believed to be some 2600-3200 ly distant, with the younger components aged no more than a few million years.

Together with Ced 214, it resembles the shape of a question mark, nickname that is frequently used to designate them (see my large field picture below).

Hot Star
The complex also includes one of the hottest stars discovered within 1 kpc (3200 ly) of the Sun, TYC 4294-6-1 (highlighted in the annotated pane), which is an eclipsing binary system with an O5V that exhibits a surface temperature of nearly 45,000 K and a luminosity about 100,000 times that of the Sun. The star is one of the primary sources illuminating the nebula and shaping the complex's pillars of creation-type formations.

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.
