Description

IC410 - Tadpole Nebula (HOO)
Distance: 12.400 Light Years

The Tadpole Nebula is a region of ionised hydrogen gas spanning over 100 lightyears across that's carved and sculpted by streams of charged particles called stellar winds emanating from open star cluster NGC 1893. NGC 1893 is about 4 million years old: the blink of an eye in cosmic terms. SkyatNight Magazine
