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.
The Cygnus Loop (radio source W78, or Sharpless 103) is a large supernova remnant (SNR) in the constellation Cygnus, an emission nebula measuring nearly 3° across. [1] Some arcs of the loop, known collectively as the Veil Nebula or Cirrus Nebula, emit in the visible electromagnetic range. [1] Radio, infrared, and X-ray images reveal the ...

An emission nebula is a nebula formed of ionized gases that emit light of various wavelengths. ... (NGC 7000) and Veil Nebula NGC 6960/6992 in Cygnus, ...
ε Cygni appears north of the Veil nebula towards the bottom left. Epsilon Cygni A is a single-lined spectroscopic binary. [18] Radial velocity observations suggest a possible companion with an orbital period of at least 15 years. [16] It presents as a giant star with a stellar classification of K0 III. [19]
