IC433 is a supernova remnant of a star which exploded about 35000 years ago. It is located approx. 5000 light years away. To the left is Sharpless 249, a large emission nebula, which also contains the small reflection nebula IC444( small blueish patch in the upper middle).
The two bright stars are Eta and Mu Geminorum.
