Description

Object: IC410 & IC405 in Auriga (HST Palette)

The Flaming Star Nebula (IC405) and the Tadpoles (IC410) are two emission nebulae located in the constellation of Auriga.

IC405 (also: The Flaming Star Nebula, SH 2-229, or Caldwell 31) is approximately 1500 light years distant.

IC410 (The Tadpoles) Surrounds the open start cluster NGC1893. It contains the “tadpoles”, which are artifacts created by stellar winds and radiation emanated from the star cluster.
