Here is a picture of IC443 - The Jellyfish Nebula. IC443 is a actually a supernova remnant in the constellation of Gemini. It is about 5,000 light years from earth spans about 70 light years. It is only about 10 degrees from the Crab Nebula, another supernova remnant. IC443 looks different than most Supernova Remnants due to its compression on its eastern side (upper left in the picture). This is cause by the exploding gas colliding with a nearby molecular cloud.
