IC 410

IC 410 (also known as the Tadpole Nebula or Sh 2-365) is an emission nebula in the constellation of Auriga. It is part of a larger star-forming complex that includes the nearby IC 405 (Flaming Star Nebula) and the open clusters M36 and M38. The nebula's nickname, the Tadpole Nebula, derives from two prominent dense structures of gas and dust (each approximately 10 light-years long) that resemble tadpoles with long tails.
