Abell 2151 is as well called the Hercules Cluster. This cluster is in a distance of about 500 Mio Lj.

The most prominent galaxies ar the elliptical NGC 6041 at the right side. Above is the Galaxy 6040 A+b which are about to merge. At the lower side of the picture are the two galaxies IC 1178 and 1181. This two galaxies made several turns together and have a big halo. IC 1182 is at the left side and has a long tidal tail - very interesting!

In the center of the field is NGC 6050 and IC 1179 - two galaxies which merge. They are as well listed as ARP 272. Above is NGC 6045 with a companion which is called as well ARP 71.

There are plenty of other galaxies in the field of view.

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.
