Description

IC 405 or The Flaming Star Nebula as it is also known. Is a beautiful and intense region full of rippling gas and dust structures. The red color comes from the ionized hydrogen gas, and the faint blueish purple color is blue light of AE Aurigae reflected in the swirling dust.
This exciting piece of space is located in approximately 1500 light years away in the constellation Auriga.

This depiction is a combination of RGB and Ha data combined to show of the rich colors and magnificent structures in the gas and dust.
