IC 2117, also known as the "Drunken Dragon Nebula," is a bright emission nebula located in the constellation of Eridanus. It is approximately 1,000 light-years away from Earth and is part of a larger molecular cloud complex. The nebula is notable for its intricate structure and vibrant colors, which are produced by the ionization of gas and dust by nearby stars. The nebula is cataloged in the Index Catalog of astronomical objects and is often studied for its star formation processes. Observations of IC 2117 provide valuable insights into the life cycle of stars and the dynamics of interstellar matter in our galaxy, the Milky Way.
