Veil
The Veil Nebula constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop, a a large but relatively faint supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. The source supernova exploded some 5,000 to 8,000 years ago, and the remnants have since expanded to cover an area roughly 3 degrees in diameter (about 6 times the diameter, or 36 times the area, of the full moon). The distance to the nebula is not precisely known, with estimates ranging from 1,400 to 2,600 light-years.

In modern usage, the terms Veil Nebula, Cirrus Nebula, and Filamentary Nebula generally refer to all the visible structure of the remnant, or even to the entire loop itself. The structure is so large that several NGC numbers were assigned to various arcs of the nebula. The three main visual components are the Western Veil Nebula (the Witch's Broom, NGC 6960, Caldwell 34) near the foreground star 52 Cygni; the Eastern Veil Nebula (NGC 6992 and NGC 6995, Caldwell 33); and Pickering's Triangle (or Pickering's Triangular Wisp, NGC 6979).

The nebula was discovered on 1784 September 5 by William Herschel. He described the western end of the nebula as "Extended; passes thro' 52 Cygni... near 2 degree in length." and described the eastern end as "Branching nebulosity... The following part divides into several streams uniting again towards the south."
