jellyfish Nebula

Normally faint and elusive, the Jellyfish Nebula. Flanked by two yellow-tinted stars, the Jellyfish Nebula is the brighter arcing ridge of emission with dangling tentacles. Here, the cosmic jellyfish is seen to be part of bubble-shaped supernova remnant IC 443, the expanding debris cloud from an exploded star some 5,000 light-years away.
