“The Medulla Nebula Supernova Remnant” is copyrighted by Kimberly Sibbald. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Medulla Nebula, also known as CTB-1, is a supernova remnant from a star that exploded 10,000 years ago. The gas shell still glows from the heat generated by its collision with interstellar gas. The nebula gets its nickname from its brain-like shape. It is located toward the constellation Cassiopeia.
