Description

Here is a piece of the famous Veil Nebula, namely Pickering's Triangle, named after the astronomer who discovered it.

The Veil Nebula is a supernova remnant located in the constellation Cygnus. These laces are so large that astronomers have broken them down into several elements:

  • the Western Veil also known as the Witch's Broom.
  • the Eastern Veil, the most known/photographed part, sometimes called the Network Nebula.
  • Pickering's Triangle, located between the 2 veils and less often photographed separately.
