The Veil Nebula is a large and intricate supernova remnant located in the constellation of Cygnus. It is approximately 1,500 light-years away from Earth and spans about 110 light-years across. The nebula is composed of glowing gas and dust, which are the remnants of a massive star that exploded around 8,000 years ago. This nebula is divided into several distinct sections, including the Eastern Veil and the Western Veil. It is well-known for its beautiful, filamentary structure and is a popular target for amateur astronomers. The Veil Nebula is also studied for insights into stellar evolution and the life cycle of stars.
