Veil Nebula
The Veil Nebula is the glowing, lace-like wreckage of a massive star that exploded as a supernova roughly 8,000 years ago, forming the western arc (NGC 6960) of the vast Cygnus Loop in the constellation Cygnus. Famous for its delicate, ribbon-thin filaments that look like a crumpled bed sheet seen edge-on, it is one of the best-known and most photographed supernova remnants in the night sky.
