Hubble captures three infant stars lighting up a blue nebula, with a secret protostar forming in a shadowed disc below.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
