#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #EasternVeil Nebula aka #NGC6992 was created 10,000 to 20,000 years ago when a large star, 20 times the mass of our Sun, exploded. The remnants of this supernova have since expanded to an area 6 times the diameter and 36 times the area of the full moon. They continue to expand so that eventually, the nebula will disappear completely. This image is 5 hours (60x300 seconds) of exposure. #StillLearning

For me, this part of the nebula always looks a bit like an alien face in the profile.

NGC 6992 Eastern Veil Nebula
Magnitude 7.0 cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust located 2,400 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. It is part of the Cygnus Loop which is a faint supernova remnant that exploded 7,000 years ago. From the moment the source star exploded to now, the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant expanded to a diameter of roughly 3° on the sky, or almost 6 full moons.
