ohstarstuff:The Tadpole NebulaNebulas don’t get much more picturesque than this. IC 410, or the Tadpole Nebula, lies about 12,000 light-years away from Earth. The massive cloud of glowing gas is over 100 light-years across. It was formed by intense stellar winds and radiation from embedded star cluster NGC 1893 which can be seen all around the star-forming nebula. This particular image was taken in infrared light by NASA’s Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite. (Image Credit: WISE, IRSA, NASA) -- source link
