Description

NGC 6960 is sometimes called the Network Nebula and NGC 6962-95 the Filamentary Nebula; but often the terms are switched, or refer to both as a whole. The entire complex has three popular names: the Cirrus Nebula, the Bridal Veil Nebula, or simply the Veil Nebula. The last is now the most commonly used name. All these titles refer to the nebula's wispy streaks and elegant lace-like filamentary structure.
