Description

NGC 6960 Western Veil Nebula. Part of the larger Cygnus Loop structure, and the delicate filaments and almost fragile looking structure are what give the Veil Nebula its nickname. The source of the supernova was a star 20 times more massive than the sun which exploded approx. 8000 - 10,000 years ago. 

My first Image in about 6 months due to a long break.
