NGC 7293 - Helix Nebula

French Version
NGC 7293 ou nébuleuse de l'Hélice est une nébuleuse planétaire située dans la constellation du Verseau, à proximité du Poisson austral. Sa forte ressemblance avec un œil humain lui a valu le surnom de « œil de Dieu ».
NGC 7293 fût découverte par Karl Ludwig Harding en 1824.
Elle est située à environ 650 années lumière de la Terre, et est l'une des nébuleuses planétaires les plus proches de nous.
Elle se présente comme deux anneaux entrelacés.
En son centre, on peut observer des globules ou nœuds cométaires, qui ont été découvert pour la première fois dans cette nébuleuse. On estime qu'ils sont au nombre de 20 000 environs.

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.
