What a dreamy image! Otherworldly yet familiar like a twisted ribbon. You’re looking at a snippet of the Veil Nebula, a vast bubble of expanding gases from a supernova explosion that occurred about ...

Supernova remnants, like the Veil Nebula, are formed from the ejected gases of massive stars after supernova explosions. The Veil Nebula, located approximately 1410-2100 light-years from Earth, is a ...

The Veil Nebula, in the constellation Cygnus, is one of the most massive and brilliant features in the x-ray sky. The supernova that created this spectacular cosmic scene exploded many thousands of ...

Last week, my photo featured just a portion of the Veil Nebula, the Eastern Veil Nebula. The whole supernova remnant, the remains of a stellar explosion of a star 20 times the size of our sun, is ...

Supernova remnants—the gaseous remains of high-mass stars that have reached the end of their lives—are often complex, large and colorful. The Veil Nebula checks all of those boxes and more. Found ...

This image taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope revisits the Veil Nebula, which was featured in a previous Hubble image release. In this image, new processing techniques have been applied, ...

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 ...

Deriving its name from its delicate, draped filamentary structures, the beautiful Veil Nebula is one of the best-known supernova remnants. It formed from the violent death of a star twenty times the ...

A supernova explosion, from a massive star, occurred roughly 2,400 years ago. Its light reached Earth around 10,000 years ago, appearing brighter than Venus. The explosion's remnants are now visible ...

In this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image, Hubble once again lifts the veil on a famous — and frequently photographed — supernova remnant: the Veil Nebula. ESA/Hubble & NASA, R. Sankrit One of the ...

Hubble revisited the Veil Nebula for a more detailed look at its colorful hot gases. Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, Z. Levay About 2,000 light years from Earth are the brilliant remnants of the explosive ...
