| IC405. The Flamingstar Nebula |
| Emission Nebula in Auriga |
| IC405,
The Flamingstar nebula can be seen in the right area of the image.
Contains a cloud of hidrogene that shines excited by the ultraviolet
radiation of the runaway star "AE Auriga" (moves at 200km/s and comes from the Orion Nebula). In the upper central area of the image IC410, the Tadpole nebula can be seen. This nebula is shines excited by a young open cluster, NGC1843. Also the open clusters M36 and M38 are included in this image. This nebular complex is 12.000 light years away from the Earth. |
