NGC 3293 in the center of the image, is known as the Gem Cluster, and its an open cluster of young stars in the Carina constellation.
The brightest stars are blue supergiants and theres also a pulsating red supergiant, named V361 Carinae.
This region would have been a starless cloud of gas and dust about ten million years ago, and then star formation began.

NGC 3324 in the lower left of the image is an open cluster located 7,560 ly from Earth.
The intense ultraviolet radiation from several of NGC 3324's hot young stars causes the gas cloud to glow with rich colours, and combined with the stars stellar winds has blown open a hollow in the surrounding gas and dust.
It is closely associated with the emission nebula IC 2599, and the two are often confused as a single object which has been nicknamed the "Gabriela Mistral Nebula". This is due to its resemblance to the side profile of Chilean poet, who received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1945.

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.
