“Fleming's Triangular Wisp” is copyrighted by Cristiano Gualco. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Veil Nebula is a thousand light-year-old supernova remnant, a star's exploded remains. This part, Fleming's Triangular Wisp, is a long ripple of glowing gas, seen nearly edge-on. It sits in the constellation Cygnus, about 2,400 light-years from Earth. The light from the original explosion reached Earth over 5,000 years ago.
