A reflection nebula in Vela : NGC 2626

Hello, this time we have imaged a nebula by reflection well colored:NGC-2626 NGC 2626 is at the same time a nebula by reflection, by emission and by absorption located in the constellation of Sails. This nebula was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel in 1835.This nebula is about 3300 light-years away from us. It reflects light from a blue star (CD -40°4432) of spectral type B1 and whose visual magnitude is equal to 10. This star is located in the nebula itself. The bright jet that can be distinguished at 2 p.m. from this star of this star is the Herbig-Haro HH 132 object which comes from the bright infrared source IRAS 08337-4028. The bright star at 3h of CD -40°4432 is the pulsating variable star EM Velorum, a possible Herbig Ae star of intermediate mass. A study based on the H-Alpha emission has discovered 32 young stars inside the nebula. Some of them are variable stars and possibly T-type Tauri stars. IRAS 08337-4028 is probably a star in formation, but the 2MASS image also reveals some other young stars in the dark cloud north of NGC 2626 and also elsewhere in this reflection nebula.Almost in the center, we notice a big red-orange dot: a planetary nebula PK260+00.2 or PN Vo 3

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.
