Description

This is an IC410 emission nebula, aka Tadpoles in Auriga. The two sperm cell-like objects are Sim129 and Sim130. Their shape is due to the solar wind from the star HD 242935 at the center of the nebula.

An open cluster NGC 1893 in the middle of the nebula consists of spiraling chains of blue stars. It is not clear if there is a black hole.
