IC 405 Flaming Star Nebula
IC 405, aka the Flaming Star Nebula, is a diffuse emission/reflection nebula in the constellation Auriga. It is 5 light years across and approximately 1,500 light years from Sol.[1]
The nebula surrounds the irregular variable runaway star AE Aurigae; an O-type main sequence dwarf. The runaway star is believed to originate in the Orion’s Belt area in the Orion constellation.[1]
