IC443 Jellyfish Nebula
The IC443 Jellyfish Nebula is a supernova remnant located about 5,000 light-years from Earth. Scientists believe it was formed by a star exploding into a supernova at least 30,000 years ago. Light is emitted from it due to reactions with surrouding molecular clouds. North is at the bottom.
