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.
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.
Messier 28 or M28, also known as NGC 6626, is a globular cluster of stars in the center-west of Sagittarius.It was discovered by French astronomer Charles Messier in 1764. [11] [a] He briefly described it as a "nebula containing no star... round, seen with difficulty in 3 1 ⁄ 2-foot telescope; Diam 2′."
The cluster is positioned near the Trifid nebula (NGC 6514), but is not associated with that nebulosity. [8] It forms part of the Sagittarius OB1 association. [9] This cluster is located 1,205 pc [2] away from Earth with an extinction of 0.87. [10] Messier 21 is around 6.6 million years old with a mass of 783.4 M ☉. [5]
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.
IC 2118 (also known as Witch Head Nebula due to its shape) is an extremely faint reflection nebula believed to be an ancient supernova remnant or gas cloud illuminated by nearby supergiant star Rigel in the constellation of Orion. The nebula lies in the Eridanus Constellation, [1] about 900 light-years from Earth. The nature of the dust ...
Gone are the days of the sad mocktail — the cranberry cocktail topped with a bit of seltzer or a blend of every juice behind the bar. A growing number of bartenders are paying just as much ...
M1-63 (catalogued as VV 209, IRAS 18486-1314 and as 2MASS J18513095-1310367) is a bipolar planetary nebula in the constellation of Scutum. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It is centered about 32 000 ly away from Earth .
