Also known as Simeis 147, S147, Shajn 147, Sh2-240, Sh 2-240, Sharpless 2-240, SNR G180.0-01.7.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.
Spaghetti Nebula image-field center is placed at J2000 RA 5.7 h, Dec 27.8° in Taurus / Auriga, at an adopted distance of 4,468.3 light-years.
Spaghetti Nebula (supernova remnant; central source PSR J0538+2817, associated offset pulsar; not rendered as a central source): projected footprint at the adopted distance 372.9 × 295 light-years; outer radius used for arrival 186.4 light-years.
Gas filaments extracted from the DSS2 red/blue composite at an adopted distance of 1.37 kpc (90% interval 1.30–1.47 kpc). Continuum and compact stars are suppressed; faint strands may be lost. Registered projected structure follows the observation, while folded filament depth, warm emission colors and brightness are illustrative, not measured tomography or a naked-eye view. The unaltered source composite, including its synthetic green channel, is available in Evidence.
