Description

IC 443 is a supernova remnant located in the constellation Gemini. It is believed to have originated from a supernova that exploded sometime between 3,000 and 30,000 years ago.
IC 443 has an angular diameter of 50 arc minutes, which at a distance of 5,000 light years equates to a true size of about 70 light years.
The nebula, both in the visible and in radio waves, has a shell shape, consisting of two halves with different radius and center; a third nebulous shell, initially attributed to IC 443, is now recognized as an older supernova remnant, perhaps 100,000 years old.
