	Magnitude: 12.0 Angular size: 50' This nebula is a super nova remnant, which was created 30-35,000 years ago. Some estimates have it happening earlier. Its shape is similar to that of a jellyfish, which is why it gets its name. The nearby star, Eta Geminorum makes locating this target easy. Go to AP#28 NGC 2237 Return to AP100 main page.
