The Veil Nebula
The Veil Nebula complex is the glowing remnants of a supernova that
occurred thousands of years ago. Also called the Cirrus Nebula because of
its resemblance to the wispy clouds, it is composed of several distinct
regions. The right hand portion is sometimes known as the Witch's Broom.
Near the top-center is a rich region called Pickering's Triangle. The
brightest portion near the left edge is truly what gives the overall nebula
the "Veil" moniker.
