🔭 💥This week the #HubbleSpaceTelescope lifts the veil on a famous — and frequently photographed — supernova remnant: the Veil Nebula.

This nebula is the remnant of a star roughly 20 times as massive as the Sun that exploded about 10 000 years ago!
A colourful, glowing nebula that reaches beyond the top and bottom of the image. It is made of translucent clouds of gas: wispy and thin with hard edges in some places, and puffy and opaque in others. Blue, red and yellow colours mix together, showing light emitted by different types of atoms in the hot gas. Bright and pointlike stars are scattered across the nebula. The background is black.
