Hubble has imaged the Veil Nebula before, most recently in 2015, but this newer image zooms in on a smaller area of the ...

William Herschel, the father of deep-sky observing, discovered the Veil Nebula — or, at least, part of it. He first noted NGC 6960, the segment behind 52 Cygni, now called the Western Veil.

The Veil Nebula is roughly 2,400 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. It is the remnants of a star that was roughly 20 times as big as our sun and exploded about 10,000 years ago.

The Orion Nebula, a famous star-forming region in the constellation Orion, appears to be leaking gas and dust from a tear in its gaseous shell discovered by NASA's flying telescope SOFIA.

The Veil Nebula is a remnant from an 8,000-year-old supernova. Well before it blew up, the massive star shed its outer layers. Those gas and dust remnants are just now being slammed into by the ...

The Veil Nebula is what is known as a supernova remnant. That just means that it’s a portion of what is left after a supernova explosion, ...

This image shows a small section of the Veil Nebula, as it was observed by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This section of the outer shell of the famous supernova remnant is in a region known ...

Many scientific terms are very specific, but the term nebula is, well, nebulous. In a very generic sense, it simply means a fuzzy thing. But there are a wide variety of astronomi ...

Hubble has imaged the Veil Nebula before, most recently in 2015, but this newer image zooms in on a smaller area of the nebula to show it in detail.Its colors also represent different elements ...
