Description

IC 405 reminds me of East and West Veil nebula, supernova remnants.

The evolution of supernova starts like the ring nebula in Lyra and older supernova clouds looks like the veil in Cygnus as the cloud dissipate into space.

I am not sure if IC405 is a supernova cloud, but it sure looks like one, shredding itself away. These types of nebula, won't exist in 1000 to 20,000 years, image them now before too late,
