Description

The well-known and largely imaged Veil nebula in the constellation of Cygnus.
The nebula is an ancient supernova remnant; the star that originated this object exploded several millennia ago. What is now visible are very faint filaments, still expanding at a speed of tens of km/s; several filaments can be distinguished, arranged in three main groups: the westernmost is that of NGC 6960 (C 34), in the direction of the bright star 52 Cygni; the second, a little further east, is formed by the nebulae NGC 6974 and NGC 6979, arranged with its concavity to the east like the previous one; the last, to the east, is formed by the sections NGC 6992 (C 33) and NGC 6995 (to which IC 1340 is added), oriented in a mirror-like manner with respect to the other two.
