The Spaghetti Nebula (Sh2-240 or Simeis 147) is an extremely dim supernova remnant about 3,000 light-years from Earth on the border of the constellations Taurus and Auriga. The tangled lines and clouds that compose the nebula are the expanding shockwaves and debris from a massive star that exploded about 40,000 years ago, traveling outward at about 0.4% of the speed of light. It is nearly spherical in shape and about 3 degrees wide, making the diameter about 157 light-years from top to bottom, as seen in this image. The nebula is nearly invisible to the human eye, even using the most powerful telescopes, and was discovered in 1952 on a photographic plate exposed through a hydrogen-alpha filter at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory. The nebula’s illumination results from the kinetic energy generated as the elemental remains of the exploded star collide with interstellar Hydrogen, causing the ejected material to glow in frequencies corresponding to the elements involved in the collision. Red, in this image, indicates Sulphur, blue indicates Oxygen, and green is Hydrogen. All that remains of the original star is a neutron star spinning at about 420 rotations per minute. Each cycle emits a powerful radio pulse that can be detected here on Earth as a Pulsar. This image is composed of a series of 88, 300, and 600-second exposures totaling 10 hours and 55 minutes through Sulphur II, Hydrogen-alpha, and Oxygen III filters mapped respectively to red, green, and blue, using an FLI PL16803 camera mounted on a Takahashi FSQ-106ED telescope, with an aperture of 106mm and a focal length of 530mm, on a Paramount MX+ mount owned and operated by Telescope Live at the IC Observatory, near Oria, Almeria, Spain captured from October 2020 through December 2021. The data was then compiled, calibrated, aligned, and crafted into the color image you see by Jeff McClure in Salado, TX, in March 2022.
