Description

The Toby Jug Nebula, IC 2220, is a reflection nebula located 1200 light years away in the southern constellation of Carina. It is illuminated from within by the star HD 65750, a red giant with five times the mass of our Sun but in a much more advanced stage of its life, despite its comparatively young age of around 50 million years.
