LDN 1270 - A Close Crop of CED 214

Link: https://www.instagram.com/nonjorman/

LDN 1270 is a pillar of dust and ionized gas located within the larger emission nebula, CED 214 and in the constellation Cepheus. These pillars exist as stellar nurseries, analogous to the well known Pillars of Creation. These structures are quite commonly observed within large emission nebulae but much less grand than those found within M16. For a reference of scale, the pillars of LDN 1270 span a length of approximately 300” in comparison with the Pillars of Creation at 400”. The existence of stellar nurseries such as LDN 1270 is a transient one. The birth of new stars consumes these pillars, while simultaneously eroding them through photoevaporation. In all likelihood, these pillars are no longer present. Astronomical images such as this one serve as an opportunity to gaze into the past; observing the universe as it once was.

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.
