IC 5146, auch als Kokon-Nebel bekannt, ist ein astronomischer Nebel mit einem eingebetteten offenen Sternhaufen im Sternbild Schwan. Der Sternhaufen trägt die Bezeichnung Collinder 470.

Der Nebel hat eine scheinbare Ausdehnung von rund 10 Bogenminuten und ist etwa 3000 Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt; seine physische Ausdehnung beträgt damit ca. 10 Lichtjahre.

Der Nebel ist ein Sternentstehungsgebiet mit ionisiertem atomarem Wasserstoff und hat sowohl emittierende, reflektierende als auch absorbierende Bestandteile.

IC 5146 befindet sich von der Erde aus gesehen am östlichen Ende der länglichen Dunkelwolke Barnard 168 und ist mit dieser zusammen Teil einer ausgedehnten Molekülwolke. Etwas westlich liegt der Reflexionsnebel von vdB 147, der vermutlich auch zum Komplex gehört.

Die im Innern der Wolke ablaufende, rege Sternentstehung führt zur Bildung eines jungen offenen Sternhaufens mit der Bezeichnung Collinder 470, einer scheinbaren Helligkeit von 7,2 mag und einem geschätzten Alter von wenigen hunderttausend Jahren. Dieser Sternhaufen und insbesondere der hellste Stern in seinem Zentrum, BD +46° 3474 (Typ B0 V, 10 mag), sind verantwortlich für die Ionisation des Nebels und damit für sein Leuchten. Sie schaffen eine "Höhle" im Staub und Gas der Molekülwolke und eröffnen uns somit den Blick in sein Inneres.

Der Nebel wurde fotografisch von Edward Barnard auf einer Aufnahme vom 11. Oktober 1893 entdeckt, später unabhängig davon auch von Max Wolf (WIKIPEDIA)

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.
