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. IC 443 may be the remains of a supernova that occurred 30,000 - 35,000 years ago.
Astronomers from the INAF-Palermo Astronomical Observatory modeled a supernova remnant called IC 443 or the Jellyfish Nebula, showing just how weird they can get.
A jellyfish galaxy is a type of galaxy found in galaxy clusters. They are characterised by ram pressure stripping of gas from the affected galaxy by the intracluster medium , triggering starbursts along a tail of gas.
Messier 30 (also known as M30, NGC 7099, or the Jellyfish Cluster) is a globular cluster of stars in the southeast of the southern constellation of Capricornus, at about the declination of the Sun when the latter is at December solstice.
A dark lane runs through the waist of the nebula obscuring the central star at all wavelengths. [ 11 ] The nebula contains a prominent northwest lobe which extends up to 3.0′ away from the central star and is estimated to have formed from an eruptive event around 1,900 years ago.
NGC 2174 (also known as Monkey Head Nebula) is an H II [1] emission nebula located in the constellation Orion and is associated with the open star cluster NGC 2175. [1] It was discovered on 6 February 1877 by French astronomer Édouard Stephan. [2] It is thought to be located about 6,400 light-years away from Earth.
A swarm of jellyfish was spotted in a river in Yokohama, Japan, on 6 June. Footage shows hundreds of the white translucent creatures floating just below the water's surface. Local officials said a ...
This process of reflection/absorption is what causes the range of cloud color from white to black. [19] Other colors occur naturally in clouds. Bluish-grey is the result of light scattering within the cloud. In the visible spectrum, blue and green are at the short end of light's visible wavelengths, while red and yellow are at the long end.
