The Flaming Star Nebula, IC 405, at right here, surrounds the variable star AE Aurigae. At left is emission nebula IC 410. Open cluster NGC 1893 is embedded in IC 410. AE Aurigae is normally a 5.96 magnitude star of spectral class BO. The star AE Aurigae itself is very bright, young, blue, and known as a runaway star since it appears to have been ejected from the Orion Nebula region about 2.7 million years ago.
