NGC 3324 - Gabriela Mistral Nebula

French version

NGC 3324 est une  nébuleuse en émission située dans la  constellation de la Carène . Elle a été découverte par l'astronome  écossais James Dunlop en  1826 .

NGC 3324 est aussi appelée la nébuleuse  Gabriela Mistral en raison de sa ressemblance avec cette poétesse chilienne sur certaines images de cette nébuleuse.

Amas ouvert d'étoiles de NGC 3324

NGC 3324 est situé à la périphérie de la région chaotique de la  nébuleuse de la Carène (NGC 3372). Un environnement riche en gaz et en poussière dans cette nébuleuse a donné naissance il y a quelques millions d'années à la formation de plusieurs étoiles massives très chaudes que l'on distingue très bien sur l'image.

Les rayonnements et les  vents stellaires des jeunes étoiles ont expulsé la matière de la nébuleuse et ainsi produit un creux dans la nébuleuse. La matière expulsée forme d'ailleurs une région lumineuse qui forme la silhouette du visage de Gabriela Mistral.

Cette image à été prises par Martin Pugh Astrophotography en australie, au heaven's mirror observatory.
Le traitement à été réalisé par mes soins.

j'éspère que l'image vous plaira !

bon ciel à tous !

english version

NGC 3324 is an emission nebula located in the constellation Carina. It was discovered by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop in 1826.

NGC 3324 is also called the Gabriela Mistral nebula because of its resemblance to this Chilean poetess in some images of this nebula.

NGC 3324 open star cluster

NGC 3324 is located on the outskirts of the Chaotic Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) region. An environment rich in gas and dust in this nebula gave birth a few million years ago to the formation of several very hot massive stars that can be clearly seen in the image.

Radiation and stellar winds from young stars expelled matter from the nebula and thus produced a hollow in the nebula. The expelled material also forms a luminous region which forms the silhouette of Gabriela Mistral's face.

This image was taken by Martin Pugh Astrophotography in Australia, at the Heaven's Mirror Observatory.
The treatment was carried out by me.

I hope you'll enjoy the image !

clear skies all !

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.
