Description:
In the depths of Auriga, two dusty tadpoles race through a gaseous pond, trapped by a blazing field of ionized sulfur and hydrogen. The Flaming Star Nebula (right) and Tadpole Nebula (left) are emission nebulae 1500-12000 light-years away. Open cluster NGC 1893 has sculpted the Tadpole Nebula into the cosmic pond we see today, while AE Aurigae has carved the ridges of the Flaming Star.
