Veil nebula supernova remnant
Veil nebula supernova remnant, NGC 6979. Optical image of a region of the Veil nebula, part of the Cygnus Loop, which is the remnant of a supernova that exploded some 5-8000 years ago. The gas ejected from the explosion expands outwards, colliding with interstellar material at high speed. The shock of the impact ionises the gases, causing them to glow. The roughly circular Cygnus loop describes the outer shell of these expanding gases. The nebula lies about 1400 light years away in the constellation Cygnus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the ethereal beauty of the Veil nebula supernova remnant, known as NGC 6979. Located approximately 1400 light years away in the constellation Cygnus, this celestial wonder is a testament to the incredible forces at play in our universe. The image showcases a small section of the vast Cygnus Loop, which formed from a supernova explosion that occurred some 5-8000 years ago. As gas ejected from the explosion expands outward, it collides with interstellar material at tremendous speeds. This collision generates intense shock waves that ionize and illuminate the gases, resulting in their mesmerizing glow. The circular shape of the Cygnus loop represents the outer shell formed by these expanding gases. It serves as a haunting reminder of stellar death and evolution in our cosmos. Through this photograph, we are transported into an awe-inspiring realm where astrophysics meets artistry. The intricate details captured by powerful telescopes reveal layers of dust and plasma swirling within this cosmic tapestry. Science Photo Library has masterfully preserved this momentous event for us to appreciate and contemplate. Let your imagination wander as you delve into this visual representation of star death and rebirth – an eternal dance played out on a grand scale across unimaginable distances in space.
