Description

IC405 (Flaming Star Nebula) and IC410 (Tadpole Nebula) can be found in the Auriga constellation.  IC405 is about 1500 light years away and is about 5 light years across.  Although IC410 appears to be near the Flaming Star Nebula, it is actually much further away (~12000 light years) and is much bigger in size (~100 light years across).
