Only a small portion of the nebula was captured in this image. The Veil Nebula is the visible portion of the nearby Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant formed roughly 10 000 years ago by the death of ...

Between 1,410 and 2,100 light-years away (sources disagree), the Veil Nebula and associated Cygnus Loop form one of the closest supernova remnants to the Sun. (Two in Vela and one in Orion are ...

NASA plans to launch the INFUSE mission at 11:35 PM ET on Sunday October 29 from the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. It will observe the Cygnus Loop, or Veil Nebula, supernova remnant ...

Also known as Cygnus Loop, the Veil Nebula is located in the constellation of Cygnus, the Swan. It is about 1,500 light-years away from Earth.

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. The remnant of a star roughly 20 ...

About 10,000 years ago, a new star appeared in what we now recognize as Cygnus the Swan. It was the light from a supernova explosion that occurred about 2,400 years earlier, when a star with roughly ...

The principal feature within this nebula is what is called the "Cygnus Loop," which sounds like something Han Solo would make in less than 12 parsecs, but is actually the remnant of an extremely ...

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 Veil Nebula is located at the end of one of Cygnus the Swan’s wings. While it is possible to view this nebula with binoculars from a very dark place, telescopes offer a far better chance to ...

You're looking at a snippet of the Veil Nebula , a vast bubble of expanding gases from a supernova explosion that occurred about 8,000 years ago in Cygnus the swan.
