Veil Nebula, a stunning supernova remnant located in the constellation Cygnus, about 2,400 light-years from Earth. It’s the visible remains of a massive star that exploded around 10,000 to 20,000 years ago. The explosion spread its outer layers into space, creating a vast, glowing cloud of ionized gas and filaments.I captured this image from my backyard last night. I had a total of 4 panels exposed, each panel was only 1 hour exposed. The whole panorama is 75 megapixels and the details are stunn

Close-up: Part of The Veil Nebula in Cygnus | A Supernova Remnant | Hubble FriendsofNASA.org: In this NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope picture, Hubble has once again lifted the veil on a famous—and frequently photographed—supernova remnant: the Veil Nebula. This nebula is the remnant of a star roughly twenty times as massive as the Sun that exploded about 10,000 years ago. It is located about 2,400 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus.
