IC 443 (Sh2-248) is a galactic supernova remnant (SNR) in Gemini. It is located near Eta Geminorum at 5,000 light years.

IC443 is the remains of a supernova that occurred about 10,000 years ago. The same supernova event likely created the neutron star CXOU J061705.3+222127, the collapsed remnant of the stellar core.
