k Emission nebulae, optical image Emission nebulae, optical image. Emission nebulae are clouds of gas and dust that glow as the hydrogen gas they contain is ionised by radiation from the hot stars embedded in them. The Flaming Star nebula IC 405 is seen at upper right with its neighbour the Tadpole nebula IC 410 at lower left. IC 405 is illuminated by the bright star AE Aurigae, while IC 410 is lit by a cluster of young stars NGC 1893 that formed from the coalescence of gas from the nebula, leaving dark holes in its structure. The flaming star nebula lies about 1600 light years from Earth, in the constellation Auriga. Stock Photo - Afloimages
