      Shown above is 52 Cygni (bright star at upper center) and  NGC-6960   
      (Veil Nebula – " The Witches Broom"), a  supernova remnant found   
      in the constellation of  Cygnus, A massive star exploded about 5,000   
      years ago leaving this beautiful filamentary remnant amongst a   
      star-studded field of the Cygnus region of the  Milky Way. Though it   
      may look spooky at this time of year, the Veil Nebula is in essence a   
      cloud of  ionized gas and dust located about 2,400 light years from   
      Earth. Image taken from my backyard in Dayton, Ohio on August 23, 2022.
