The Veil nebula is the visible structure of a famous supernova remnant
in constellation Cygnus.
The structure is so large that several NGC numbers were assigned
to various arcs of the nebula.
There are three main visual components:
•
The Western Veil, consisting of NGC 6960,
near the foreground star 52 Cyg.
•
The Eastern Veil, whose brightest areas are NGC 6992 and NGC 6995.
•
Pickering's Triangle, which can be found between
NGC 6992 and NGC 6960.
