IC 2220 is known as the Toby Jug Nebula.
It is a bipolar and bi conical reflection nebula created from a cloud of gas and dust expelled from and illuminated by the red giant star HD 65750 which is inside the nebula.
The nebula was named by three British astronomers who thought the shape was similar to an old English drinking vessel known as a Toby Jug.
The nebula differs from most other reflection nebula in that it is orange in color.
