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.
IC 2118 (also known as Witch Head Nebula due to its shape) is an extremely faint reflection nebula believed to be an ancient supernova remnant or gas cloud illuminated by nearby supergiant star Rigel in the constellation of Orion. The nebula lies in the Eridanus Constellation, [1] about 900 light-years from Earth. The nature of the dust ...
The structure is so large that several NGC numbers were assigned to various arcs of the nebula. [9] There are three main visual components: The Western Veil (also known as Caldwell 34), consisting of NGC 6960 (the "Witch's Broom", [10] Lacework Nebula, [8] "Filamentary Nebula" [10]) near the foreground star 52 Cygni;
Windows Spotlight is a feature included with Windows 10 and Windows 11 which downloads images and advertisements from Bing and displays them as background wallpapers on the lock screen. In 2017, Microsoft began adding location information for many of the photographs.
Most notable of these is the 5°-long IC 2118 (Witch Head Nebula), [56] [57] located at an angular separation of 2.5° from the star, [56] or a projected distance of 39 light-years (12 parsecs) away. [23] From measures of other nebula-embedded stars, IC 2118's distance is estimated to be 949 ± 7 light-years (291 ± 2 parsecs). [58]
