The Veil nebula, located in Cygnus, is pictured above. This nebula is a large supernova remnant and is an expanding cloud. The red is hydrogen and the blue-green is oxygen. This nebula spans about 6 times the degrees that the full moon does. The brightest pieces of this nebula are recognized on their own as nebulae (The Witch's Broom and Pickering's Triangle).
