Messier 35 star custer and IC 443 supernova remnant in Gemini.

---

A rich region of clusters and nebulosity in the constellation of Gemini, with the Jellyfish Nebula, IC 443 at bottom near the orange star eta Geminorum. IC 443 is a supernova remnant. The larger region of fainter, diffuse nebulosity at left is IC 444. The loose star cluster embedded in it, with the blue star 12 Gem, is Collinder 89. At top right is the bright showpiece open star cluster Messier 35 with its smaller, more distant companion cluster NGC 2158 at lower right from M35.
