NGC 2467

This remarkable emission nebula was discovered by William Herschel in 1784. He classified it as a planetary nebula, simply because of its rounded shape. However, today we use Herschel's term Planetary Nebula. to mean a very specific type of object—a blown off shell of gas from a dying star. Historically this object has been listed as an open star cluster, a nebula, or a star cluster with nebulosity. Later observations have clarified the issue. There is an emission nebula NGC 2467 and two open clusters Haffner 18 and 19 that all belong to the one complex at about 14000 ly from us. With an age of a few million years at most, it is a very active stellar nursery, where new stars are born continuously from large clouds of dust and gas. In the same line of sight there is another group of stars and more nebulosity about 5,500 ly closer to us. So the apparently simple looking 2-dimensional object that we see from earth is in fact very much extended in 3-dimensions.

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.
