Emission nebula LHA 120-N11 in the Large Magellanic Cloud

"Seen from a distance of about 163,000 light years, the emission nebula LHA 120-N 11 is second in size only to the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The young star cluster at its center, NGC 1761, hosts the fierce multiple star system HD 32228, which contains both a rare blue Wolf-Rayet star and an O-type bright giant. Just above that cavity, the bright nebulosity of the Bean (shaped) Nebula NGC 1763 dominates the scene. Numerous other nebulae appear interwoven in N11’s structure, as well as in nearby space. In its entirety, N11 bears some resemblance to the closer Rosette Nebula in Monoceros."

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.
