This image is of 2 well-known nebulae one more so than the other. The Horsehead Nebula made famous by Hubble is a diffuse dark nebula found in the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex in the constellation Orion and is approximately 1,500 light-years from us.The palette chosen here was HSO which more or less equates the normal pinkish glow of hydrogen to a more dramatic hue of oranges and yellows. The other well-known Flame Nebula is an emission nebula lit by a star within which is 20 times the mass of the Sun. It is 6 light-years wide and is also a part of the star forming region of the OMCC.

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.
