THE TADPOLE NEBULA
- IC 410
- Deepsky 1665mm
- Constellation Auriga

IC 410, also known as Tadpole Nebula, is an emission nebula with an embedded open star cluster (NGC 1893) in the constellation Auriga (Fuhrmann) in the northern starry sky. The cloud of luminous gas has a diameter of more than 100 light-years and is formed by stellar winds and the radiation of the embedded open star cluster NGC 1893. This region is dominated by the bright star Aurigae.
The left part of the image shows the faint emission nebula IC 410. The two remarkable "inhabitants" of the cosmic pond of gas and dust, the tadpoles of IC 410, are clearly visible. The nebula itself surrounds NGC 1893, a young galactic star cluster. Formed only 4 million years ago in the interstellar cloud, the intensely hot, bright cluster stars excite the glowing gas. The tadpoles consist of denser, cooler gas and dust, are about 10 light years long and probably represent sites of ongoing star formation. Their heads are shaped by wind and radiation from the star cluster and are outlined by bright, ionized gas ridges, while their tails run away from the central region of the cluster.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
