PEGASUS GALAXY COMPLEX

In this field two groups of galaxies are visible, on the left the Deer Lick group, and on the left the Stephan quintet. The Deer Lick group is dominated by the galaxy NGC 7331, a spriral galaxy about 40 million light years away and extended for 120,000 light years, intense star formation phenomena are visible. In the same group, 4 other small galaxies can be seen. The spiral galaxies NGC 7335 and NGC 7336, the barred spiral NGC 7337 and the elliptical NGC7340. These 4 galaxies are in perspective with respect to the main galaxy NGC 7331, and are 350 million light years away from the solar system. These 4 galaxies are gravitationally linked together.
The Stephan Quintet is a group of galaxies, catalog numbers NGC 7317-7318A-7318B-7319-7320. Of the 5 galaxies, NGC 7320 is prospective as its distance is about 40 million light years. The other four galaxies, on the other hand, are gravitationally linked and are 220 million light years away from the solar system. Three of the Quintet galaxies, NGC 7318A, NGC 318B and NGC 7319, show signs of morphological irregularity, while NGC 7317 appears to be apparently regular in shape. There is also a large number of candidate tidal dwarf galaxies in the group, including 13 in the long tail of NGC 7319, some east of NGC 7318b and others in its northern region, where extensive star formation takes place.

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.
