The Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443)

The Jellyfish Nebula (IC443)
It got cloudy a bit earlier last night and I only ended up with 3hrs of 3min exposures - but the result with this brighter target was still phenomenal.
The Jellyfish Nebula is a supernova remnant. A supernova occurs when a star 4-10 times (or larger) than our sun dies. The violent but beautiful explosion of a single star can rival the brightness of its host galaxy. The explosion means the death of the star, but the elements of the explosion go on to make new stars and planets. Our own solar system was created by about 4 generations of stars based upon the make up of elements found on earth and in our sun.
It is very true that we are ourselves made of stardust - our Creator made us in the image of Himself, crafting us with the very essence of the heavens!
When larger stars supernova, they leave behind a neutron star - which are the densest and extreme objects besides black holes. A teaspoon of neutron star weighs about 10,000,000 tons or more .

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
