IC 443 (also known as the Jellyfish Nebula) is a supernova remnant in the constellation Gemini. Its distance is 5,000 light years from Earth. IC 443 may be the remains of a supernova that occurred 3,000 - 30,000 years ago.

The Jellyfish Nebula is captured with narrowband filters to help protect against light pollution and processed in the Hubble Palette.

Follow me on Instagram if you would like to see what's possible to be captured from our own backyard and to see what telescopes I use.
