The Pillars of creation in SHO

About 7000 light years from us in the direction of the eagle constellation, lodges the famous pillars of creation within the eagle nebula.These columns made famous by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) are towering structures of cosmic dust and gas that are part of a very active star-forming region in the nebula and hide newborn stars within their columns. very dense. They are bathed in searing ultraviolet light from a group of young stars belonging to the M16 cluster just above the pillars in the image.Pillared structures are a common morphological phenomenon in regions of massive star formation that shape surrounding molecules via ionization and stellar winds.These pillars represent a very active and dynamic process where electrons are stripped from atoms and heated by star radiation, then eroded by powerful stellar winds to gently evaporate into space.The blue colors in the image represent oxygen, while the red represents sulfur while the green represents hydrogen, typical of a SHO processing palette called a Hubble palette.

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.
