Description
The Veil Nebula constitutes a vast supernova remnant located in the constellation Cygnus, about 2,400 light-years from Earth.
These are the remains of a massive star that exploded about 10,000 to 20,000 years ago. The shock wave projected ionized gases into interstellar space that today form spectacular emission nebulae and reflection nebulae.
The colored filaments visible in astrophotography result from light emitted by different elements: oxygen shines blue-green, hydrogen in red and sulfur in darker shades. These colors reveal the chemical composition of the gases.
