Star Formation in the Tadpole Nebula

NASA APOD · : Francesco Antonucci
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Tadpole Nebula, IC 410, is a cloud of glowing gas over 100 light-years across, about 12,000 light-years away in Auriga. Stellar winds and radiation from the embedded star cluster NGC 1893 have sculpted its shape. This region is a site of star formation, with new stars only about 4 million years old.
