IC 443 (also known as the Jellyfish Nebula and Sharpless 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.
It is in this epoch 22.2 kly (6.8 kpc), from the center of the galaxy, compared to an estimated 26 kly (8.0 kpc) for the Sun. [ 12 ] The cluster has passed through a dynamic process called core collapse and now has a concentration of mass at its core of about a million times the Sun's mass per cubic parsec .

Minkowski 2-9, abbreviated M2-9 (also known as Minkowski's Butterfly, Twin Jet Nebula, the Wings of a Butterfly Nebula, or just Butterfly Nebula) is a planetary nebula that was discovered by Rudolph Minkowski in 1947. It is located about 2,100 light-years away from Earth in the direction of the constellation Ophiuchus.
Aerial render of the Build The Earth project on a modified Airocean World Map. Build the Earth was created by YouTuber PippenFTS in March 2020 as a collaborative effort to recreate Earth in the video game Minecraft. [1] During the COVID-19 lockdowns, the server aimed to provide players with the opportunity to virtually experience and construct ...
[1] In the second release, some coordinates for southern hemisphere regions have an uncertainty over 1 minute of arc. [1] This can make them difficult to find, so a revised catalog called BFS (Blitz, Fich and Stark) was released [1] with 65 new regions and about 20 removals. [1] Most of the removed items were the aforementioned nebula or ...
Shapley 1 (Sp 1 or PLN 329+2.1) [3] is an annular planetary nebula in the constellation of Norma with a magnitude of +12.6. [4] As viewed from Earth, it is peculiar in that it seems to be a non-bipolar, torus-shaped planetary nebula. However, it is thought that this is due to the viewpoint of looking directly down on a binary system whose orbit ...
The million-year-old star at the center of the disk has a temperature of 3,000 K and is emitting 0.4 times the luminosity of the Sun. [ 12 ] The 2023 NASA / ESA / CSA James Webb Space Telescope image—released on the telescope's first anniversary—shows young stars, roughly the size of the Sun, at the center of circumstellar discs.
