Description

This is a section of the vast Vela Supernova Remnant shot in narrowband Foraxx. The supernova exploded approximately 11000-12000 years ago and is about 800 light years away. One of my favorite areas of the southern sky with its wonderful display of wispy detail and star-forming regions.
