Framed Print : Emission nebulae
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Emission nebulae
Emission nebulae in the constellation Auriga. Emission nebulae (HII regions) are clouds of gas and dust which glow as hydrogen gas they contain is ionised by radiation from hot stars embedded in them. Seen here is the Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405, upper right) and IC 410 (lower left). IC 405 is illuminated by the bright star AE Aurigae, which is not associated with the nebula, but is merely passing through it. It lies around 1600 light years from Earth. IC 410 is illuminated by a cluster of young stars which formed from the coalescence of gas from the nebula, leaving dark holes in its structure

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of emission nebulae in the constellation Auriga. Emission nebulae, also known as HII regions, are ethereal clouds composed of gas and dust that emit a radiant glow when ionized by the intense radiation emitted from hot stars nestled within them. In this image, we are treated to a breathtaking view of two prominent emission nebulae: the Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405) situated in the upper right corner and IC 410 adorning the lower left portion. IC 405 is particularly fascinating as it basks in the luminosity of AE Aurigae, an exceptionally bright star that happens to be passing through but not associated with this celestial spectacle. Located approximately 1600 light years away from Earth, IC 405 casts its enchanting hues across vast cosmic distances. Meanwhile, IC 410 is illuminated by a cluster of youthful stars formed through the coalescence of gas originating from within its own structure. This process has left behind enigmatic dark holes amidst its intricate framework. The photograph serves as a testament to both our fascination with space exploration and our deepening understanding of stellar evolution. It invites us to contemplate the awe-inspiring forces at play in shaping these magnificent formations while reminding us just how small we truly are in comparison to the vastness of our universe.
