This narrowband image illustrates the otherwise faint emission nebula IC410, which is being illuminated by the intensely hot and bright yoiung stars which form the open cluster known as NGC 1893. The nebula is partly obscured by forground dust, appearing as ragged tears or "holes" from our telescopic perspective. Centre left of the image are a pair of  snaking pillars, nick-named the tadpoles, comprising cooler columns of gas and dust being sculpted by the stellar winds and radiation, their heads outlined by ionised gas, each about 10 light years long.
