Mortal Enemies - The Spider (IC 417) and the Fly (NGC 1931)

Somewhere in the Auriga constellation, an eight-legged creature tries to lure a six-legged creature into its web. These two interesting regions located near the more famous Tadpoles (IC 410) and Flaming Star (IC 405) contain areas of new star formation and are energized by intense, young stars. Appearances can be deceiving, however. The Spider is almost 10,000 lights years from earth, while the Fly is much closer at about 7,000 light years away. The Fly has been referred to as a "mini Orion" nebula because it's powered by a small group of stars and contains both emission and reflection components.

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.
