“The Veil Nebula Unveiled” is copyrighted by Mikael Svalgaard. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThese wisps of gas are what remain of a Milky Way star that exploded in a supernova. The Veil Nebula, pictured here, is the remnant of that explosion. Thousands of years ago, the expanding cloud was likely as bright as a crescent Moon. The supernova remnant lies about 1400 light-years away in Cygnus.

NASA Terra took this picture on 6 December 2005, the day itself, not a release date.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
Prints are coming soon. The card is free to save and share in the meantime.
