“The Tadpole Nebula in Gas and Dust” is copyrighted by Craig Stocks (Utah Desert Remote Observatories). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Tadpole Nebula, IC 410, is a region of active star formation about 12,000 light-years away in Auriga. This cloud of glowing gas, over 100 light-years across, is sculpted by strong stellar winds. The open star cluster NGC 1893, formed only 4 million years ago, provides the intense radiation that shapes these cosmic tadpoles. They are dense knots of gas and dust where new stars are being born.
