NGC 6914

NGC 6914 is a complex of reflection nebulae at the heart of the constellation Cygnus.NGC 6914 is 6,000 lightyears away and contains two blue reflection nebulae, vdB 132, seen to the right in the image below, and another reflection nebula, vdB 131, slightly lower to the left.Contrasting these beautiful glowing gas clouds illuminated by light from powerful, hot blue stars, is the red emission glow of ionised hydrogen and dark, dense cosmic clouds.The red emission nebula is a result of young stars in the Cygnus OB2 association ionising the surrounding hydrogen.These contrasting processes produce a region of the sky that's quite spectacular to behold.

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.
