NASA has released enhanced images of the Veil Nebula which presents greater details of the filaments of ionized gas that give it, its name. The Hubble Space Telescope originally captured photos of the Veil which is the remaining of a massive star that detonated more than 10,000 years ago in 2015. Located some 2,100 light-years from Earth the debris is one of the best-known remnants of a supernova. The nebula continues to expand some 932,000 miles per hour and NASA studies can help us better understand its structure and how it interacts with the shock wave from the supernova.
The Veil nebula is the visible portion of the Cygnus Loop which the remains of a star some 20 times the size of our sun that went supernova between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. A nebula is the cloud of ionized gas and dust that formed when a star detonates. This month, NASA circulated a revamped version of the 2015 image using a new technology that greatly enhances the details and this new processing technique has been applied bringing out the fine details of the nebula’s delicate threads and filaments of ionized gas. These new images provide more details of doubly ionized oxygen, seen in blue, and ionized hydrogen and nitrogen seen in red.
