      A Big Bowl of Spaghetti in Deep Space (Custom H+O+O)

      Simeis 147, also known as the Spaghetti Nebula, SNR G180.0-01.7 or Sharpless 2-240, is a supernova remnant (SNR) in the Milky Way, straddling the border between the constellations Auriga and Taurus. It is difficult to observe due to its extremely low surface brightness. The nebulous area has an almost spherical shell and a filamentary structure. The remnant has an apparent diameter of approximately 3 degrees, an estimated distance of approximately 3000 ±350 light-years, and an age of approximately 40,000 years.
