IC 410 (also known as the Tadpole Nebula or Sh 2-365) is an emission nebula in the constellation of Auriga. It is part of a larger star-forming complex that includes the nearby IC 405 (Flaming Star Nebula)[3] and the open clusters M36 and M38.
The nebula’s nickname, the Tadpole Nebula, derives from two prominent dense structures of gas and dust (each approximately 10 light-years long) that resemble tadpoles with long tails.[3][4]
