TL;DR Summary

The Veil Nebula, located about 2,400 light-years away from Earth, is a cloud of heated and ionized gas that contains the remnants of a massive star that exploded 10,000 years ago. The Cygnus Loop, the principal feature within the nebula, is the brilliant remains of this supernova. The Veil Nebula has been expanding since the explosion, and although it has faded over time, it can still be observed with the right telescope and imaging techniques.
