IC 443 Jellyfish Nebula
The Jellyfish nebula, also known as IC443 is all that remains of a massive star that went supernova after running out of fuel and leaving behind a shell of glowing gas. The nebula is located 5,000 light-years away in the constellation Gemini.
Research estimates the age of the nebula to be tens of thousands of years, with previous estimates being around 30,000 years.
