“NGC 6960: The Witch's Broom Nebula” is copyrighted by Martin Pugh. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Witch's Broom Nebula, NGC 6960, is part of the larger Veil Nebula. This supernova remnant is a cloud of debris from a star that exploded ten thousand years ago. It sits in the constellation Cygnus, about 1,400 light-years from Earth. The filaments glow as the shockwave from the explosion sweeps through interstellar gas.
