NGC 5364, NGC 5363, NGC 5356, NGC 5360 in the constellation Virgo

This frame contains many galaxies. If you look to the right side of the frame, you can see several barely visible galaxies. Many of the things that look like smudges are galaxies. Seeing so many groups of galaxies in one photo is so cool. But the showcase would be the Grand Design Galaxy, NGC 5364 located in the top left-hand side of the image. Grand-design galaxies are characterised by their prominent, well-defined arms, which circle outwards from a clear core. NGC 5364 is 54.5[2] million light years away.

The galaxy directly below (thin in an up-down orientation) is NGC 5360. It is a 13.7 mag Hubble -type SB0/a lenticular galaxy estimated to be 51 million light years away.

The large glowing galaxy near the top and centre (just below that bright blue star TYC 315-332-1) is NGC 5363. This lenticular galaxy is estimated to be 65 million light years away.

Moving from the centre of the frame towards 4:30 postion is NGC 5356. It is a barred spiral galaxy with a 13.0 magnitude brightness and an apparent size 2.9' × 0.8' arc min. It is oriented at a 45-degree angle in this presentation.

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.
