The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus. [ 4 ] It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop , [ 5 ] a supernova remnant , many portions of which have acquired their own individual names and catalogue identifiers.
NGC 6960, the Western Veil, is the western part of the remnant, also known as the "Witch's Broom", located at J2000 RA 20 h 45 m 58.1 s Dec +30° 35′ 43″. [3] As the westernmost NGC object in the nebula (first in right ascension), its number is sometimes used as an NGC identifier for the nebula as a whole.
NGC 6992 (Eastern Veil Nebula – center) and NGC 6960 (Western Veil Nebula – upper right) photographed from a dark site. To the south of Epsilon Cygni is the Veil Nebula (NGC 6960, 6979, 6992, and 6995), a 5,000-year-old supernova remnant covering approximately 3 degrees of the sky - [66] it is over 50 light-years long.

Spiral nebula surrounding NGC 262, which is one of the largest known galaxies. Ivory Nebula: 1,190,500 ly (365,000 pc) [2] Enormous Lyα nebula (ELAN) Also called MLAN1 at z=2.31. Another ELAN, called MLAN 10 is nearby. Q0042−2627 nebula 1,040,000 ly (320,000 pc) [8] Enormous Lyα nebula (ELAN) Around the quasar LBQS 0042-2627, at z=3.280
IC 5146 (also Caldwell 19, Sh 2-125, Barnard 168, and the Cocoon Nebula) is a reflection [2] /emission [3] nebula and Caldwell object in the constellation Cygnus. The NGC description refers to IC 5146 as a cluster of 9.5 mag stars involved in a bright and dark nebula. The cluster is also known as Collinder 470. [4]
