Carina Nebula

The Carina Nebula is a large and complex star-forming region located in the southern constellation of Carina, approximately 7,500 light-years away from Earth. It is one of the largest and brightest nebulae in the sky, and is visible to the naked eye from dark sky locations.The Carina Nebula spans over 300 light-years across and contains a mix of gas, dust, and hot, young stars. The most prominent feature of the nebula is the Keyhole Nebula, which is a dark cloud of dust and gas that appears to be shaped like a keyhole. The Keyhole Nebula is situated in the center of the Carina Nebula and is thought to be a region where new stars are forming.The Carina Nebula is also home to several massive stars, including Eta Carinae, a binary star system that is one of the most massive and luminous stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Eta Carinae is surrounded by a bipolar nebula, which is thought to have been formed by material ejected from the star in a previous eruption.The Carina Nebula is a popular target for amateur and professional astronomers alike, as its bright colors and intricate structure make it a visually stunning object to observe. It has also been the subject of many scientific studies, as astronomers seek to better understand the processes of star formation and evolution.

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.
