The Tadpoles of IC 410
Telescopic image captures IC 410's central regions, featuring the Tadpoles—dense, cool gas likely forming stars. The #Hubble palette shows the #nebula and NGC 1893, a young star cluster that energizes the gas. Located 10,000 light-years away in Auriga, the Tadpoles are sculpted by stellar activity.
