A faint, dusty rose of the northern sky, emission nebula IC 410 lies about 12,000 light-years away. Notable near the 2 o'clock position in this wide, detailed view are two relatively dense streamers of material trailing away from the nebula's central regions. Potentially sites of ongoing star formation, these tadpole shapes are about 10 light-years long.
