Description
Discovered in 1784 by astronomer William Herschel, the Veil Nebula was once a star. Now it is a twisted mass of shock waves that appears six times larger than the full Moon in the sky. This Hubble Space Telescope image shows just a small part of the nebula, a region known as the 'south-eastern knot'. The entire nebula is about 50 light years in radius, and is located almost 1,500 light years away.
