NGC 3675

This object is a rarely imaged spiral galaxy located 60 million light years away in the constellation of Ursa Major at a declination of +44 degrees. This magnitude 10 galaxy, with a surface brightness of 13.3, spans 6.7 arc-minutes in our apparent view, which corresponds to a diameter of 120,000 light years.

Despite the view being clouded somewhat by some dust, this is a beautiful galaxy with interesting structure. The inner region has a small bright core surrounded by a faint ring. The outer region is flocculent, with its dust lanes providing an interesting 3D look. We are seeing the galaxy just 30 degrees from an edge-on view, so that the dust lanes on the bottom side towards us are much more visible than the lanes on the other side.

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.
