Description

IC443 is a supernova remnant about 5 000 light-years away. It's about 70 light-years across and covers an area in the sky almost twice the diameter of the full Moon.

This image was processed by my wife Huguette, who made a better job of it than I did. She calls it The Brain or, if rotated 90 degrees anti-clockwise, she sees a bearded man's face from below, and refers to it then as Père Noël.
