COSMIC MESSAGE

IC 410, a faint, dusty rose of an emission nebula, lies about 12,000 light-years away in Auriga. This cloud of glowing hydrogen gas spans over 100 light-years, sculpted by stellar winds from the embedded open star cluster NGC 1893. The bright cluster stars, formed just 4 million years ago, are visible near the center.
