Behold the breathtaking Veil Nebula, an intricate supernova remnant located in the constellation Cygnus. This wide-field image captures the delicate filaments of glowing gas and dust, remnants of a massive star that exploded around 10,000ā20,000 years ago.
āØ Distance from Earth: ~2,400 light-years
š Size: Covers ~110 light-years across the sky
ā Absolute Magnitude: ~7.0
š Coordinates (J2000): Right Ascension 20h 45m 38s | Declination +30Ā° 42ā² 30ā³
The Veil Nebula is a magnificent reminder of the transformative power of stellar death, dispersing elements essential for new stars and planets. Its vibrant colors come from ionized hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur, revealed through narrowband imaging.
Swipe through the vastness of the cosmos and let its beauty captivate you! What emotions does this image evoke? Share your thoughts below. š
