SH2-132, also known as the Lion Nebula, is a fascinating emission nebula located in the constellation Cepheus. It is characterized by its intricate and captivating shape, resembling a lion's head, which has earned it its popular name. The Lion Nebula is situated approximately 2,000 light-years away from Earth, making it relatively close on a cosmic scale.This celestial object is predominantly composed of ionized hydrogen gas that emits a vibrant red glow, typical of emission nebulae. The ionization occurs due to the intense radiation emitted by nearby young, massive stars. These massive stars have formed within the nebula and are responsible for sculpting its distinct shape through their powerful stellar winds and energetic radiation.

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.
