NGC 1337

This spiral galaxy is located 50 million light years away in the constellation of Eridanus at a declination of -8 degrees. This is the 2nd image of this galaxy on Astrobin.

It is a magnitude 12 galaxy which spans 7 arc-minutes in our apparent view. This corresponds to a diameter of 90,000 light years. The disk is just over 10 degrees from edge-on in our apparent view.

Despite the near edge-on view, we can see some of the arm structure, which looks like 4 arms with hints of VV rows throughout. Since the galaxy is relatively close to us, we can see dust lane details as well as star clouds in the disk.

Small galaxies are seen to the right of NGC 1337, which I estimate to be about 2 billion light years away.

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.
