Description

The Spaghetti Nebula, a deliciously named celestial wonder! Also known as Simeis 147 or SH2-240, it's a supernova remnant located in the constellation Taurus. The name "Spaghetti" comes from its intricate, filamentary structure resembling a tangled bowl of spaghetti.This nebula was formed when a massive star exploded in a supernova, sending out shock waves that interacted with the surrounding interstellar medium, creating these captivating structures. It's a reminder of the dynamic and violent processes that shape our universe.
