Nebulae along the Southern Rim of LMC-4

Several striking nebulae mark the southern rim of the Large Magellanic Cloud’s supergiant shell LMC-4, shown here processed in the Hubble Color Palette using CCDStack2 and Photoshop CC 2019. Spanning nearly 2900 lys in width, this 60.4 x 48.3-arcmin square field features the frothy brownish (Ha, SII) superbubble NGC 2014 blown by massive stars at the lower left, which gives way to colorful wisps of blue nebulosity (OIII) and distinct shock fronts diagonally above. To the immediate left of the bottom of NGC 2014 lies the blue Wolf-Rayet stellar bubble, NGC 2020; the bluish-white star-forming complex comprising NGC 2032, 2035 and 2040 appears along the left edge of the frame. The right side of the image captures the “sextant,” dominated by the large circular-shaped nebula NGC 1955 on the far right. Its brown rim and turbulent blue interior set it apart from NGC 1968 and 1974 to the left of the prominent dark divide. NGC 2004, a compact open cluster, appears at the top right of the frame. Naturally-colored stars were produced by blending a short exposure RGB image into the scene. North is up, and East is to the left.

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.
