NGC1999

Je vous présente NGC 1999, réalisé depuis le Chili en collaboration avec Loïck Viger et Patrick Delay NGC 1999 est une nébuleuse par réflexion située à environ 1 500 années-lumière dans la constellation d’Orion. Illuminée par l’étoile jeune et brillante V380 Orionis, elle arbore une teinte bleutée caractéristique due à la lumière réfléchie par ses particules de poussière.Ce qui rend NGC 1999 unique, c’est son étrange trou sombre en forme de clé de serrure visible en son centre. Longtemps considéré comme une région dense de poussière, ce vide a finalement été identifié comme une cavité véritable, probablement formée par des vents stellaires ou des jets issus de la naissance d’étoiles.Située dans une région riche en phénomènes de formation stellaire, NGC 1999 est un objet spectaculaire pour l’astrophotographie, offrant à la fois des couleurs vibrantes et une structure intrigante. Let me introduce you to NGC 1999, captured from Chile in collaboration with Loïck Viger and Patrick Delay.NGC 1999 is a reflection nebula located about 1,500 light-years away in the constellation Orion. Illuminated by the young and bright star V380 Orionis, it displays a characteristic bluish hue caused by light reflecting off its dust particles.What makes NGC 1999 unique is its peculiar dark keyhole-shaped void at its center. Once thought to be a dense region of dust, this void was later identified as an actual cavity, likely carved out by stellar winds or jets associated with star formation.Located in a region rich with star-forming activity, NGC 1999 is a spectacular target for astrophotography, offering vibrant colors and an intriguing structure.

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.
