“Elusive Jellyfish Nebula” is copyrighted by Johannes Schedler (Panther Observatory). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Jellyfish Nebula, usually faint, is part of the supernova remnant IC 443, the expanding cloud from an exploded star 5,000 light-years away. Flanked by stars Mu and Eta Geminorum, its arcing ridge and dangling tentacles are visible in this wide-field view. This cosmic jellyfish is a striking example of the aftermath of a stellar death.
