We astronomers are used to time travel, imagine if you could travel back, way back say 8000 years or so. You would have been witness to the supernova that created the Veil Nebula. A new star in that night sky would have been brighter than any other and visible for months. Fast forward to today and we see the remnant of that stellar explosion still moving at over a million miles an hour through space. This is not a true colour image but a bi colour capturing emissions of Hydrogen & Oxygen wavelengths..... This is My first Bi-colour project and a wonderful target it is too.
