Telescope: Astro-Physics 160 Starfire Description:IC 443 (also known as the Jellyfish Nebula and Sharpless 248 (Sh2-248)) is a galactic supernova remnant (SNR) in the constellation Gemini. On the plane of the sky, it is located near the star Eta Geminorum. Its distance is roughly 5,000 light years from Earth. IC 443 may be the remains of a supernova that occurred around 30,000 years ago. The same supernova event likely created a neutron star, the collapsed remnant of a stellar core. IC 443 is one of the best-studied cases of supernova remnants interacting with surrounding molecular clouds. The remnant's age is still uncertain. There is some agreement that the progenitor supernova happened between 3,000 and 30,000 years ago. (Wiki).
