IC410 Emission Nebula (HII-Region)

Type:

Emission Nebula (IC 410, HII-region) with the open star cluster NGC 1893 in the constellation Auriga. Images of the star cluster by the Chandra X-ray Observatory suggest that it contains approximately 4,600 young stellar objects.

An HII-region is a region of interstellar atomic hydrogen that is ionized. It is typically in a molecular cloud of partially ionized gas in which star formation has recently taken place, with a size ranging from one to hundreds of light years, and density from a few to about a million particles per cubic centimetre.

Visual Brightness (NGC 1893): 7.5 mag / Distance ~ 12.4 kLy
