      Explanation: Ten thousand years ago, before the dawn of recorded human   
      history, a new light would have suddenly have appeared in the night sky   
      and faded after a few weeks. Today we know this light was from a   
      supernova, or exploding star, and record the expanding debris cloud as   
      the Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant. Imaged with color filters   
      featuring light emitted by sulfur (red), hydrogen (green), and oxygen   
      (blue), this deep wide-angle view was processed to remove the stars and   
      so better capture the impressive glowing filaments of the Veil. Also   
      known as the Cygnus Loop, the Veil Nebula is roughly circular in shape   
      and covers nearly 3 degrees on the sky toward the constellation of the   
      Swan (Cygnus). Famous nebular sections include the Bat Nebula, the   
      Witch's Broom Nebula, and Fleming's Triangular Wisp. The complete   
      supernova remnant lies about 1,400 light-years away.
