IC 410 / NGC 1893
NGC 1893 refers to a small open star cluster in the Auriga constellation. IC 410 describes the associated HII region. It is assumed that the region is approximately 4'500 light years away from Earth.

Flaming Star Nebula
IC 405, also known as the Flaming Star Nebula, is also located in the Auriga constellation and is an emission and reflection nebula. The nebula is located approximately 1'500 light years from Earth. The irregular, variable star AE Aurigae lights the Flaming Star Nebula.

AE Aurigae
AE Aurigae is an O-type main sequence star. It has also been classified as an Orion-type variable star. Furthermore, AE Aur is special because it is a 'runaway star'. This means that it is travelling much faster than the rest of the interstellar medium that surrounds it. AE Aur was probably ejected during a collision with another binary star system. This collision was traced back to the Trapezium cluster in the Orion Nebula two million years ago. This means that the star responsible for the glow of the Flaming Star Nebula did not form within this nebula, but is now travelling through it at high speed.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
