Veil Nebula

Eastern and Western Veil (NGC 6992,6960): This is the debris that remained after a Super Nova explosion, about 5000 - 8000 years ago somewhere in the center of this image, tore a star many times the mass of the sun into pieces. Left is the Eastern Veil and to the right the Western Veil Nebula running through the star 52 Cygni. In the upper part  another very faint nebula  called Pickering´s Triangular Visp can be seen. The wide-angle view shows the unearthly beauty of what remained after the cataclysmic event.
