Description

Behold the majestic TON 618 quasar, a titanic force of nature located over 10 billion light years away in the Canes Venatici constellation. At its center lies a supermassive black hole, over 66 billion times the mass of our Sun, surrounded by a swirling disk of gas and dust. Its intense gravitational pull draws matter in at an astonishing rate, unleashing a torrent of energy that illuminates the cosmos with a brilliance 140 times greater than that of the Milky Way. This awe-inspiring image captures a glimpse of the raw power and beauty of the universe, a stunning testament to the wonders that lie beyond our own tiny planet.

IOTD/TP stats

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.
