Left: The Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405) is a stunning emission/reflection nebula located approximately 1,500 light-years away in the constellation Auriga. It surrounds the runaway star AE Aurigae, whose energetic blue light causes the surrounding hydrogen gas to glow red and reflect off dust, creating a "flaming" appearance with gaseous, smoke-like wisps.
Right: The Tadpole Nebula (IC 410) is a ~100 light-year wide emission nebula in the Auriga constellation, located approximately 12,000 light-years from Earth. It surrounds the young, 4-million-year-old open star cluster NGC 1893, which sculpts the gas into, and drives, two 10-light-year-long "tadpole" structures of dense dust and gas, representing active star formation.
