IC410 - The Tadpoles

Image Description and Details :

The Tadpole nebula or IC 410 is an emission nebula in the constellation Auriga. It lies approximately 12,000 light years from earth.

I don't believe its name needs any explanation, it's one of the few I can see immediately, and I've always struggled with most. This nebula reminds me of a line in one of my favorite songs. "We're just 2 lost souls swimming in a fish bowl". Of course Pink Floyd isn't everyone's thing!
