NGC 2237 - Rosette Nebula

Acquisition type: Electronically-Assisted Astronomy (EAA, e.g. based on a live video feed)

NGC 2237 is a popular astronomical object also known as the Rosette Nebula. It is a large, circular cloud of gas and dust located in the constellation Monoceros, about 5,000 light-years from Earth. The nebula is ionized by a group of young, hot stars in its center, causing it to emit light in the visible spectrum and making it visible to telescopes.The Rosette Nebula is considered a prime example of a star-forming region, where new stars are born from the collapse of dense regions of gas and dust. The bright central cluster of stars, known as NGC 2244, is thought to be only a few million years old, and is responsible for ionizing the surrounding nebula. The nebula also contains several Bok globules, which are dense clouds of gas and dust that may eventually collapse to form new stars.The Rosette Nebula is a popular target for amateur and professional astronomers, who observe it in visible light as well as in other wavelengths such as infrared, ultraviolet, and radio. Its colorful appearance, combined with its relative proximity to Earth and large size, make it a popular subject for astronomical images and photos.

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.
