NGC 6992
NGC 6992 is part of the Veil Nebula in the constellation of Cygnus. It is part of the eastern edge of this supernova remnant. The source supernova exploded some 5,000 to 8,000 years ago, and the remnants have since expanded to cover an area of 3 degrees; about 6 times the size of a full moon. The distance to the nebula is not precisely known, with estimates ranging from 1,400 to 2,600 light-years.
