M106

=MsoNormalM106 est une galaxie spirale dans la constellation des chiens de chasse. L’origine des jets de matière visibles sur l’image est un trou noir supermassif très actif en son centre qui accélère fortement la matière. Elle est distante d’environ 23 millions d’années-lumière et fait environ 130000 Al de diamètre.

NGC 4217 ( la galaxie vue de profil) qui sur la photo semble proche de M106 est en réalité à environ 50 millions d’années lumières de nous et n’est en rien proche .

Le crop ci-joint montre NGC4248, une galaxie appartenant au groupe de M106 distante de 33 millions d’Al.=11.0ptD’autres galaxies bien plus lointaines y sont visibles. NGC 4231 et 4232 sont 2 galaxies spirales distantes respectivement de 367 et 359 millions d’années lumières.
On peut aussi voir un amas de galaxies très lointain qui apparaissent orange en raison de leur éloignement. Le redshift mesuré de 0.27 permet d’estimer la distance à environ 3.7 Milliards d’Al !

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.
