The Eastern Veil Nebula (Supernova Remnant)

A small section of the Veil Nebula including NGC 6995, NGC 6992 and IC 1340. The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus. It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop (radio source W78, or Sharpless 103), a large but relatively faint Supernova remnant. The source Supernova exploded between 5,000 to 8,000 years ago.
