NGC 1893, the open cluster at the center of the Tadpole Nebula (IC 410) // Elvie1
IC 410
IC 410 is an emission nebula located about 12,000 light years away towards the constellation Auriga. The nebula is over 100 light years across, illuminated by star cluster NGC 1893.
The stars of NGC 1893 are only about 4 million years old. Stellar winds and radiation from the cluster sculpt and energize surrounding clouds of dust and gas, shaping the nebula and causing it to glow. The “tadpoles” of IC 410, to the right and below the center of this image, are composed of cooler material and may be sites for star formation.
