Description

The Tadpole Nebula in the constellation of Auriga, captured in narrowband over the course of several nights and a mostly full moon and processed in the Hubble Palette (ish).  It's around 12,000 light years distant - the tadpoles themselves are streams of dust and gas about 10 light years long and really do appear to be swimming!
