IC443, vdB75

Click Image for Larger Version

IC 443, commonly called the Jellyfish Nebula, is a tangled supernova remnant about 5,000 light years away in Gemini. Shock waves from an exploded star collide with surrounding gas and dust, producing delicate filaments.  VdB 75 is a faint blue reflection nebula (lower middle). Together, the pair create a striking deep sky target where violent stellar death and gentle reflected light appear side by side, revealing the complex structure of the interstellar medium.
