The Veil Nebula (Cygnus Loop) — Eastern & Western Veil + Pickering’s Triangle

The Veil Nebula is the expansive supernova remnant known as the Cygnus Loop—an immense network of glowing filaments created when a massive star exploded thousands of years ago. In wide-field views, it appears as multiple arcs and knots of shocked gas spread across a large region of sky. This image captures the broader Veil complex, including the Eastern Veil (NGC 6992/6995), the Western Veil (NGC 6960), and the fainter central structures often referred to as Pickering’s Triangle (Fleming’s Triangle). Together, these regions trace shock fronts where the expanding debris interacts with surrounding interstellar material. The Veil Nebula lies about 2,400 light-years from Earth.
