NGC 6995 is a nebula complex located in the constellation Cygnus, also known as the Veil Nebula. It is a part of the larger Veil Nebula, which formed from the remnants of a supernova explosion. The nebula complex spans an area of about three degrees in the sky, which is roughly six times the diameter of the full moon.

NGC 6995 is characterized by its captivating structure, which has been shaped by energetic processes within the nebula. It is often described as a network of fine filaments and delicate loops that stretch across a diffuse, glowing background. These structures are the result of interactions between the energetic particles within the nebula and the surrounding interstellar medium.

The nebula primarily consists of ionized hydrogen gas that is excited to emit light by the intense radiation from young, hot stars embedded within it. The vibrant colors observed in the nebula, including shades of red and blue, are characteristic of the emission from ionized gas.

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.
