NGC 6979 Pickering's Triangle
NGC 6979 is a part of The Veil Nebula (Cygnus Loop) a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus and it's a large supernova remnant. The source supernova was a star 20 times more massive than the Sun, and it exploded between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago.The remnants have since expanded to cover an area of the sky roughly 3 degrees in diameter (about 6 times the diameter, and 36 times the area, of the full Moon). It's estimates distance is from 1200 to 5800 light-years from earth,
