LMC #9 - The Bean Nebula (NGC 1763) & environs (incl. NGC 1769, 1773, 1760, 1761)

NW of the main cloud of the LMC lies the interesting, very large star-forming region, designated
LHA 120-N 11 (N11). Prominent in this complex is the Bean Nebula, NGC 1763. the large, kidney-
shaped nebula shown above centre in this image. The nebula, and its associated embedded
open star cluster, form part of a large cosmic super bubble which is N11. The centre of this
region is dominated by the star cluster, NGC 1761. Its hot, bright, young (5 Myo) stars are
generating stellar winds that are causing the super bubble to expand. N11 is approx. 1,000 ly
across, and lies 163,000 ly away, at the outer edge of the LMC.

Associated with this super bubble are the nebulae, NGC 1769 (SE of the Bean Nebula), and
NGC 1760 (S of the Bean Nebula). Further out, to the NE, lies the nebula NGC 1770, and to the
E is the open star cluster, NGC 1776. These latter do not form part of the N11 super bubble
complex.

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.
