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 ...
