“Galactic Supernova Remnant IC 443” is copyrighted by Jean-Charles Cuillandre. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteAbout 8,000 years ago, a star in our galaxy exploded, creating the supernova remnant IC 443. Modern humans can still see the expanding shell of gas. This image shows complex filaments within the shell, some of which are impacting an existing molecular cloud. Astronomers use emission from shock-excited molecular hydrogen to study how fast-moving supernova gas affects star formation in the cloud.
