NGC 7000, also known as the Cygnus Wall, is a prominent and captivating astronomical feature located in the constellation of Cygnus, the Swan. It is an emission nebula, meaning it glows brightly due to the ionization of its gas by nearby massive stars.The Cygnus Wall is part of a larger complex called the North America Nebula, which spans an extensive region in the night sky. However, the Cygnus Wall itself stands out as one of the most visually striking sections within this complex. Its name is derived from its resemblance to the shape of the North American continent.This celestial spectacle is situated approximately 1,600 light-years away from Earth, making it relatively close on a cosmic scale. It stretches across a vast expanse, with an estimated size of about 20 light-years. The Cygnus Wall is primarily composed of hydrogen gas, which is energized and emits light in the presence of nearby hot, massive stars.The region is characterized by intricate and filamentary structures, often appearing as dark, dusty lanes that separate bright regions of glowing gas. These dark lanes are a result of dense interstellar dust obscuring the light behind it, creating stark contrasts against the luminous gas clouds.The Cygnus Wall is a site of active star formation, with dense pockets of gas and dust serving as nurseries for the birth of new stars. Intense radiation emitted by the hot, young stars within the nebula causes the surrounding gas to glow brilliantly, producing a range of vivid colors, including deep reds and blues.

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.
