“Star Formation in the Tadpole Nebula” is copyrighted by : Francesco Antonucci. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteDusty emission in the Tadpole nebula, IC 410, lies about 12,000 light-years away in the constellation Auriga. The cloud of glowing gas is over 100 light-years across. It is sculpted by stellar winds and radiation from the embedded open star cluster NGC 1893. Bright cluster stars, formed in the interstellar cloud a mere 4 million years ago, are visible throughout the nebula.
