IC 410 or Tadpole Nebula is an emission nebula in the constellation Auriga. IC 410 was named the Tadpole Nebula because it hosts tadpole-shaped dark dust clouds that appear as if they were swimming toward the center of the Nebula. The tadpoles are in fact gas globules, small dense knots of dust and gas stretching about 10 light-years across.
