\"IC410 <\/p>\n

IC 410 is located 12,000 lightyears from Earth in the Auriga<\/a> constellation, and is nicknamed the Tadpole Nebula because of the tadpole-shaped clouds of dark dust that appear to be swimming towards the centre.<\/p>\n

The Tadpole Nebula is a region of ionised hydrogen gas spanning over 100 lightyears across that\u2019s carved and sculpted by streams of charged particles called stellar winds emanating from open star cluster<\/a> NGC 1893.<\/p>\n

NGC 1893 is about 4 million years old: the blink of an eye in cosmic terms.<\/p>\n

The \u2018tadpoles\u2019 that give the nebula its nickname are dense streams of dust and gas about 10 lightyears long that may well be sites of star formation.<\/p>\n

Below is a selection of images of IC 410, the Tadpole Nebula, captured by astrophotographers and BBC Sky at Night Magazine<\/em> readers.<\/p>\n
