The Eastern Veil, also known as the Veil Nebula, is a prominent supernova remnant located in the constellation Cygnus. It is part of a larger structure called the Cygnus Loop, which is approximately 1,500 light-years away from Earth. The nebula is known for its intricate filaments of gas and dust, glowing in various colors due to the ionization of gases. This celestial object was formed from the explosion of a massive star around 8,000 years ago. The Eastern Veil is particularly noted for its bright, wispy appearance, which can be observed through telescopes. It serves as an important area of study for astronomers interested in stellar evolution and the life cycle of stars.
