Les Dentelles du Cygne - Detail - NGC 6960 - The Veil Nebula, NGC 6960 - Part of the rest of the supernova of the Dentelles du Swan lies about 1500 years - light from Earth. Ten thousand years ago a star exploded. The supernova remnant is called the Veil Nebula. Here is the west end of the Veil Nebula known as NGC 6960 or the Witch's Broom Nebula. The rampaging gas gains its colors by impacting and exciting existing nearby gas. The supernova remnant lies about 1,400 light - years away towards the constellation of Cygnus. The bright star 52 Cygnus is visible with the unaided eye from a dark location but unrelated to the ancient supernova. The filaments in the right upper portion of the image is commonly called Pickering's Triangle. It was discovered in 1904 by Williamina Fleming of the Harvard Observatory while examining photographic plates of the region. The object was named in honor of her boss, astronomer Edward Charles Pickering

Les Dentelles du Cygne - Detail - NGC 6960 - Part of the Veil nebula - NGC 6960 - Part of the rest of the supernova of the Dentelles du Swan lies about 1500 years - light from the Earth. The bright star is 52 Cygnus, a star visible to the naked eye that is not associated with lace. Image obtained with a telescope 61 cm in diameter. The Veil Nebula (NGC 6960) is part of a supernova remnant known as the Cygnus Loop. It is the shattered remains of one, and possibly two, supernovae that exploded less than 10,000 years ago in the direction of the constellation Cygnus, the Swan. At the time of the explosion, it would have been seen as a very bright star, rivaling the crescent Moon. The bright star near the center of the image, known as 52 Cygnus, is not associated with the supernova. Image taken with a 24 - inch telescope

The bright star is 52 Cygnus, a star visible to the naked eye that is not associated with lace. Image in false colors obtained with a telescope measuring 40 cm in diameter through various filters that highlight the oxygen (in blue), and the hydrogen (in red). The Veil Nebula (NGC 6960) is part of a supernova remnant known as the Cygnus Loop. It is the shattered remains of one, and possibly two, supernovae that exploded less than 10,000 years ago in the direction of the constellation Cygnus, the Swan.

Swan Lace Detail - The Veil nebula, IC 1340 - IC 1340 is a detail of the Swan lace, a remnant of supernova located about 1900 years - light in the constellation Swan. The supernova exploded 5,000 or 8,000 years ago. Image in false colors obtained with a telescope measuring 40 cm in diameter through various filters that highlight the oxygen (in blue), and the hydrogen (in red). This image shows a faint portion of the eastern veil nebula in Cygnus, a large, almost spherical glowing shell of gas, the expanding remains of a star that exploded between 5,000 and 8,000 years ago. The nebula (and thus its precursor star) is about 1900 light years distant and about 100 light years across. It is the result of the shockwave from the explosion exciting the tenuous interstellar medium and making it glow. Shooting in these wavelengths and with the color combine choices yielded a spooky view of something resembling a Bat or Owl. Red is Hydrogen, Blue is Oxygen, Green is the product of both

The Swan Lace - The Veil Nebula - The rest of supernova lies about 1500 years - light in the constellation Swan. The supernova would have exploded less than 10,000 years ago. The Veil Nebula is the remnant of a supernova explosion that occurred about 10,000 years ago. It is located 1,500 light years away in the constellation of Cygnus. NGC 6992/95 is the brighter eastern half of the nebula at left. NGC 6960 is the portion of the SNR that appears close to the star 52 Cygnus on the right half arc. Pickering's Triangular Wisp, above and to the left of the NGC 6960 portion of the nebula is designated as Simeis 3 - 188. At the top center of the photo is a small patch of the Veil designated as NGC 6974/79. Canon 300 mm f/2.8. Exposure: 96 x 2 mi

Remains of supernova located about 1400 light years ago in the constellation Swan. The supernova would have exploded less than 10,000 years ago. Image obtained by the Oschin telescope of Mount Palomar through several filters and composed - The Veil Nebula, also known as the Cygnus Loop, is a large supernova remnant, relatively faint supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. The source supernova exploded some 5000 to 8000 years ago. The distance to the nebula is not precisely known, with estimates ranging from 1400 to 2600 light years. It was discovered on 1784 September 5 by William Herschel. This image is based on data acquired by the Oschin Telescope at the Mount Palomar Observatory.: Les laces du Swan - The Veil nebula

Swan and Lyra Constellations - Cygnus and Lyra constellations - Upper left, near the nebula North America (NGC 7000), the brightest star in the constellation of Swan, Deneb; the Swan covers most of the image. On the top right, Vega de la Lyre, the fifth brightest star in the sky, located about 25 years away from Earth. Lyra is at the upper right of the photo and Cygnus takes of most of the rest of the frame. Brilliant Vega, the fifth brightest star in the night sky, is the brightest star in the image. It is located about 25 light years away. Bright red emission nebulae can also be seen in Cygnus, including the North America Nebula and nebulosity around Gamma Cygni at left. Deneb, visible just above and to the right of the North America Nebula, is the 20th brightest star in the night sky and is located about 1,500 light years away. The rich star clouds in Cygnus are broken by large dark lanes and rifts in the summer Milky Way. The dark lanes are clouds of dark matter that obscure the st

Swan Lace - detail ngc 6960 - This image of the Veil Nebula was taken with the Mosaic camera on the WIYN 0.9 - meter telescope at the National Science Foundation's Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tucson, AZ. The Veil Nebula (NGC 6960) is part of a supernova remnant known as the Cygnus Loop. It is the shattered remains of one, and possibly two, supernovae that exploded more than 15,000 years ago at a distance of 2,500 light - years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Cygnus, the Swan. At the time of the explosion, it would have been seen as a very bright star, rivaling the crescent Moon. The bright star near the center of the image, known as 52 Cygnus, is not associated with the supernova

Detail of Swan Lace - NGC 6992 - 95 - NGC 6992/5 is part of the remnant of a supernova explosion that occurred about 5 - 10,000 years ago.

Swan Lace - detail - This delicate Hubble Space Telescope image shows a tiny portion of the Cygnus loop, a supernova remnant in the constellation of Cygnus, the Swan. Measurements on this super - detailed image of a cosmic veil shows that the original supernova explosion took place only 5000 years ago. The Cygnus loop, also known as the Veil Nebula, is well - known to amateur astronomers as a challenging target for larger telescopes. It has a diameter of about 3 degrees (corresponding to 6 full moons). This spectacular nebula was created when a massive star ended its days in an immense supernova explosion. A bubble of dust and gas was expelled into space and has continued to expand outwards ever since. The Cygnus Loop consists of two main arcs, designated NGC 6992/95 for the Eastern arc and NGC 6960 for the Western arc (also called the Witch's Broom Nebula). The tiny area of the Hubble image is seen in the upper left - hand corner of the nebula, at the outer edge of one of the large fi

Swan Lace - detail - This is an image of a small portion of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant, taken with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera on Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope on April 24, 1991. The Cygnus Loop marks the edge of a bubble - like, expanding blast wave from a colossal stellar explosion which occurred about 15,000 years ago. The supernova blast wave is slamming into tenuous clouds of interstellar gas. This collision heats and compresses the gas, causing it to glow. The shock acts as a searchlight by revealing the structure of the interstellar medium. Hubble's detailed image shows the blast wave overrunning dense clumps of gas. Although HST can reveal details about as small as our Solar System, the clumps are still unresolvable. This means that they must be small enough to fit inside our Solar System, making them relatively small structures by interstellar standards. A bluish ribbon of light stretching left to right across the picture might be a knot of gas ejected by the su
