Description

Sh2-240 (R.A.: 5h 40m 28.88s, Dec: +28º 00’ 44.3”), also known as Simeis 147 and nicknamed the spaghetti nebula, is a super nova remnant on the border of the constellations Auriga and Taurus.. It is located in our own Milky Way, at a distant of 3,000 lightyear from Earth. In the midst of the gaseous left-overs from the exploded star, is its remnant, a rapidly spinning neutron star, a pulsar that emits strong radio signals. The object is extremely faint, and only visible in H-alpha and less so in OIII. In broadband images, the object is pretty much invisible. Due to its low brightness, discovery did not happen until 1954.
