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.

The Carina Nebula is an example of a diffuse nebula. Most nebulae can be described as diffuse nebulae, which means that they are extended and contain no well-defined boundaries. [24] Diffuse nebulae can be divided into emission nebulae, reflection nebulae and dark nebulae.
Blue gelatinous creatures known as by-the-wind sailors often wash up on California beaches by the thousands in the springtime when the ocean warms.
