Simeis 147
, also known as the Spaghetti Nebula, is a
supernova remnant
(SNR) in the
Milky Way
. Straddling the border between the constellations
Auriga
and
Taurus
, the nebula was discovered in 1952 at the
Crimean Astrophysical Observatory
. It is difficult to observe due to its extremely
low brightness
.
