Eastern Veil

The Eastern Veil nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation of Cygnus, located at around 1470 light-years from Earth. It is part of the Cygnus Loop which is a 7000 years old, faint supernova remnant, covering roughly 3° on the sky (almost 6 full moons). The red hues in this image are from ionized hydrogen gas clouds, emitting light in the H-alpha wavelength, while the cyan hues are from oxygen ions.
