IC 446 is a Star Cluster + Nebula in the Monoceros constellation. IC 446 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.

Seen within the Monoceros R1 cloud complex some 2,500 light-years away, bluish IC 447 is on the left, joined by a long dark filament of dust to IC 446 at lower right. Embedded in IC 447 are young, massive blue stars much hotter than the Sun, …

2020年6月24日 · A massive young stellar object (YSO) is embedded in IC 446, while IC 447 contains several massive B-type stars. The Herschel temperature map reveals the extended warm dust emission (at T_d ~ 15-21 K) toward both the ends of the filament.

2025年1月31日 · IC 447和IC 446是位于麒麟座的两个星云，以下是关于它们的介绍： IC 447 - 基础信息：也被称为德雷尔星云，是一个反射星云。其赤经为06h 31m 12.0s，赤纬为+10°02′00″，视直径约为25角分，距离地球大约2500光年。

1990年10月20日 · VY Monocerotis and the IC 446 region - Far-infrared and submillimeter images of a massive young stellar object and its environment The reflection nebulae IC 446 has been mapped in an 8 x 8-arcmin area at 100, 160, and 370 microns using 32-channel bolometer-array detectors on the 0.9-m telescope of the NASA Kuiper Airborne Observatory and the 3 ...

2020年8月26日 · The filament is found to host two previously known sites IC 446 and IC 447 at its opposite ends. A massive young stellar object (YSO) is embedded in IC 446, while IC 447 contains several massive B-type stars. The Herschel temperature map reveals the extended warm dust emission (at Td ∼ 15–21 K) toward both the ends of the filament.

2023年2月5日 · IC 447 is the largest component, top left in the image, and seems to be connected by a long filament to IC 446 below, while NGC 2245 (at right, near center of image) and NGC 2247 (just below) complete the ensemble of reflection nebulae.

< IC List IC 446. IC 446 is a Cluster + nebula located in the constellation of Monoceros. The ICGC is a catalog of 5,386 nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. Here are the key stats on IC 446:

From Virginia Beach , IC446 will become visible at around 20:11 (EDT), 63° above your southern horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then sink towards the horizon, setting at 02:34. All times shown in Virginia Beach local time.

A curved section of dark nebulosity (LDN1606 & LDN1607), connects the largest blue area of nebulosity, (IC 447) with the blueish IC 446 forming a shape that resembles a long neck gourd. Website: http://www.astrophotogallery.org/nebula/p7198-ic-446-2c-ic-447-2c-ngc-2245-2c-ngc-2247in-monoceros.html
