Description

The Tadpole Nebula (IC 410) lies about 12,000 light years from our sun.  Each of the tadpoles are approximately 10 light years long and may be forming stars.  The small cluster of stars in the center of the image (NGC 1893) is emitting various particles which interact with the nebula's gasses (Ha, SII and OIII) to produce its light.
