NGC 2070 - Nebulosa de la Tarántula (Carlos Trujillo)

NGC 2070 - Nebulosa de la Tarántula

La nebulosa de la Tarántula, también conocida como 30 Doradus o NGC 2070, es una de las pocas nebulosas de otra galaxia que podemos observar y fotografiar de forma aficionada, se ubica en la Gran Nube de Magallanes (LCM).
Es la región de formación estelar más activa y compleja conocida dentro de nuestro grupo local de galaxias, así como la mayor nebulosa de emisión conocida en nuestro cielo.
Con una magnitud aparente de 8, es un objeto extremadamente luminoso, considerando que se encuentra a 170 000 años luz de la tierra.
Con un diámetro de 1800 años luz, es 75 veces más grande que la nebulosa de Orión y si se encontrara a la misma distancia de esta, osea a 1270 años luz, NGC 2070 iluminaría el cielo como la Luna llena y tendría un tamaño aparente casi 150 veces mayor que la propia Luna.

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.
