CORE OF OUR MILKYWAY GALAXY

The beautiful fuzzy region that one can see in this picture is the central core of our Milkyway galaxy. Our whole earth and the solar system and all the stars that we see in the night sky are a part of the milkyway Galaxy, hence we can never have an outside view of our galaxy, but we can always observe the central core of the galaxy which is bright and consists of numerous stars crowding the center. The center of our galaxy consists of a super-massive black hole and it gravitationally holds each and everything in our milkyway galaxy like stars, planets, gases, nebulae, smaller black holes, dusts etc.

How to observe this core of our Milkyway Galaxy?

The central part of our galaxy is very bright but still it needs a very dark sky to observe it. The city light glow greatly overpowers this beautiful regions. So in order to see it one needs to travel away from the city lights to some far-away remote villages like the one from where this picture has been taken. The name of the place is Zinzuwada State which lies in the Little Rann of Kutch in Gujarat.

When to observe this core?
The milkyway core is not always there in the sky, but there are some specific moths in which it can be observed. The summer months of March till September offer a great opportunity to observe and photograph it

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.
