NGC 613

This object is a barred spiral galaxy located 70 million light years away in the southern constellation of Sculptor at a declination of -30 degrees. The galaxy spans 5 arc-minutes in our apparent view. This corresponds to a diameter of 125,000 light years, which is about the same as our Milky Way. We are viewing the galaxy at about 45 degrees (midway between face-on and edge-on).

The arm structure is fascinating, with multiple arms originating from each end of the bar. Numerous star clusters and Ha regions are apparent in the disk.

The most interesting aspect of this object to me is the core. Dark dust lanes spiral into the center of the core, which is mainly yellow but has a blue region above and right of the center.

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.
