NGC 4111

This object is an edge-on lenticular galaxy located 30 million light years away in the constellation of Canes Venatici at a declination of +43 degrees. This 10.7 magnitude galaxy has a surface brightness of 12.1. It spans 4 arc-minutes in our apparent view, which corresponds to an actual diameter of 40,000 light years.

Since this galaxy is only 3 degrees from edge-on, it gives us a great view of its peanut shaped core. The coloring of the galaxy is subtle but as expected, with the core yellow and the disk blue.

NGC 4111 shares the sky in this image with several smaller but pretty background galaxies.

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.
