Scientists have called
the nebula W50 Manatees. What was the reason for this?
Nebula Manatees only
recently got its own name. Until recently, it was more commonly known under the
designation simply W50 and SNR G039.7-02.0.
This nebula, which in
shape look like a giant fish, nestled in 18 000 light-years from Earth in the
equatorial constellation Aquila.
