The flaming star and tadpoles nebula
___
The flaming star nebula IC405 visible on the right is an emission nebula laying 1630 light years from earth.
In the middle of it can be found a blue variable star, AE Aurigae, a star which can be tracked from the orion’s belt where it escaped about 2.7 milion years ago.
This star is responsible for the ionization of the gas clouds, and the reflections, visible in the blue spectrum, in the top right of the image.
On the left, the tadpoles nebula IC410 is much further away being 19540 light years away, is linked with the open cluster NGC1893 a star nursery, where new star are forming under the influence of many giants stars.
