Located in the northern constellation of Auriga is the dusty emission nebula known as IC410. The nebula harbours an open star cluster known as NGC1893 in which is believed to have shaped the surrounding nebulosity due it's violent outflow of stellar winds and radiation. In the 11 o'clock position are two prominent filaments of glowing gas know as the "tadpoles" of IC410. The tadpoles have curved globular heads and tails generally point away from the open cluster as the shock wave of stellar winds pushes further from the source. Beyond the tadpoles, a shock wave bow is present. IC410 is 12,000 light years distant.
