Nebulae and clusters in southern Gemini and northern Orion.


A two-panel mosaic of nebulas and clusters in southern Gemini and northern Orion. The Messier 35 star cluster is at top accompanied by the smaller cluster NGC 2158. At left near the orange star Eta Geminorum is the crescent-shaped Jellyfish Nebula, IC 443, a supernova remnant. The fainter, diffuse nebula at far left is IC 444. At bottom and over the border in Orion is the Monkey Head Nebula, NGC 2174. The little round nebula above NGC 2174 is Sharpless 2-247.
