Open cluster in the constellation Auriga
NGC 1893 is an open cluster in the constellation Auriga . It is about 12,400 light years away. The star cluster is embedded in the Tadpole Nebula (HII region IC 410).[ 5]
Images of the star cluster by the Chandra X-ray Observatory suggest that it contains approximately 4,600 young stellar objects .[ 6]
