This photograph shows the Veil Nebula, a large supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. It covers nearly 3 degrees of the sky and is approximately 1400 light years away from Earth. This appropriately spooky nebula is shown in false color with hydrogen in red and oxygen in blue to lend it a Halloween theme.
