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 plan of the sky, it is located near the star Eta Geminorum. Its distance is roughly 5,000 light years (~5×1016 km) from Earth. IC 443 is thought to be the remains of a supernova that occurred 3,000 - 30,000 years ago. The same supernova event likely created the neutron star CXOU J061705.3+222127, the collapsed remnant of the stellar core.

Taken on a cold winter night. Tempurature dropped to 10Deg F. This was the first clear moonless night in a very long time, so I had to get out. Seeing was poor as the Jet Stream was raging direclty above our Missouri sky's.
