Pictured here is the eastern section of the Veil Nebula. This nebula is the remnants of a supernova and can be seen over the constellation Cygnus. Emissions from hydrogen atoms cause the red coloring and emissions from oxygen atoms caused the blue-green tints. I thought this nebula was perfect for Halloween; there seems to be a ghastly apparition in the larger vertical section of the nebula! :)
