Spaghetti Nebula

This is a supernova remnant, which means it's the structure resulting from the explosion of a star at the end of its life cycle. The Spaghetti Nebula is also known as Simeis 147 (or Sh2-240) and is located over 3,000 light-years away, sprawling across 150 light-years in diameter!

Intensity Profile: Plotting the intensity across a section of the nebula to show variations in brightness, which may correlate with density.

Color Distribution: Creating a histogram to show the distribution of colors within the image, which may give insights into the composition and temperature variations.

The pseudo-3D surface plot uses the grayscale intensity values of the nebula image as a height map, creating a 3D representation of the nebula's structure. The x and y axes correspond to the pixel coordinates of the image, and the z-axis represents the intensity of each pixel, giving the illusion of depth and form.

The color mapping, from purple to yellow, indicates the intensity of the nebula's features, with higher regions depicted in warmer colors. This representation provides a way to visually explore the nebula's complex morphology, highlighting the denser and brighter regions in a form that resembles a topographical map.

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.
