The Eastern Veil Nebula

The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus, a supernova remnant and part of the Cygnus Loop. The source supernova was a star 20 times more massive than our Sun, which exploded between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. NGC 6992 is around 2,400 light-years from Earth and is expanding at a velocity of about 1.5 million kilometers per hour.
