Pickering's Triangle

Flemming’s Triangular Wisp is part of a supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. It was discovered in 1904 by Williamina Fleming but was credited to Edward Pickering, the director of the observatory and so is commonly known as Pickering’s Triangle. The object is part of a larger Cygnus Loop which occupies about 36 times the area of the full moon. It is estimated to be about 2400 light years distant and was formed about 15000 years ago.
