Talk:Veil Nebula

Distance and Radius
OK, I added distance and radius. The data to be found on the net varies widely. The age is from 20'000 to 5'000 years, the distance is from 1'500 to 2'500 and the radius should vary by the same percentage as the distance. This is the problem with facts - the latest facts: 5'000 years and 1'500 ly are from Nasa/Hubble and probably pretty fresh, but are they reliable? A thorough supervision on sources would be required.

NGC Identification
I added this note to talk:Cygnus Loop and figured it should go here too. The Sinbad location for NGC 6960 (and the labels on all the star atlases, including Uranometria) correspond to the Western Veil Nebula -- but the article (before I edited it) treated NGC 6960 as a designation for the entire loop. Is this a case of the 1st number in R.A. being applied to the whole? Is there a clear reference for that? -- Elphion (talk) 17:57, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
