Hello
Another picture from my trip to the Rhön in icy temperatures but clear skies. The Jellyfish Nebula in the constellation Gemini is the remnant of the explosion of a giant star, a supernova. The explosion probably took place around 30,000 years ago. The thread-like structures shine beautifully in the reddish light of the hydrogen. The bright star is more than 6 times as large as the Sun and shines 3,000 times as brightly.
Kind regards
Hans
