IC443 - The Jellyfish Nebula
narrowband nebulaeIC443, The Jellyfish Nebula, is a supernova remnant in the constellation Gemini. At roughly 5,000 light years, the Jellyfish sits near the star Tejat Prior (meaning ‘forward foot’), the left foot of the northern twin. (Tejat Prior is, itself, a triple star system, at magnitude ~3.2 – so reasonably easy to spot in most skies.)
