A new image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope offers a fresh look at the Veil Nebula, a vast supernova remnant that has been expanding for over 10,000 years. This nebula is the remains of a ...

The Veil Nebula is a remnant from an 8,000-year-old supernova. Well before it blew up, the massive star shed its outer layers. Those gas and dust remnants are just now being slammed into by the ...

The Veil Nebula is what is known as a supernova remnant. That just means that it’s a portion of what is left after a supernova explosion, ...

The Veil Nebula is roughly 2,400 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. It is the remnants of a star that was roughly 20 times as big as our sun and exploded about 10,000 years ago.

William Herschel, the father of deep-sky observing, discovered the Veil Nebula — or, at least, part of it. He first noted NGC 6960, the segment behind 52 Cygni, now called the Western Veil.

Hubble has imaged the Veil Nebula before, most recently in 2015, but this newer image zooms in on a smaller area of the nebula to show it in detail.Its colors also represent different elements ...

Another awe-inspiring photo Siggs has taken is of the Eastern Veil Nebula, a stunning feature within the larger Cygnus Loop Nebula complex. The Cygnus Loop is a vast supernova remnant, ...

Good morning. It is November 2, and today's photo showcases the Veil Nebula, a cloud of heated and ionized gas about 2,400 light-years away from Earth.

According to the ESA's website listing for the image the Veil Nebula was a star that was approximately 20 times the size of our Sun that sadly came to the end of its life about 10,000 years ago.
