The Nebula of Hallow's Eve

As Halloween comes creeping around the corner we take an up close look at the Veil Nebula located roughly 1,400 light years away. The Veil Nebula lies near the Witch's Broom and depicts a demonic face. It's make up is that of the reminence of a death explosion of a massive star. While this is only a depiction of the Veil Nebula which covers about .5 degrees of the mass covering roughly 3 degrees in in the constellation Cygnus known as the Northern Cross and Swan and is found in the Summer Triangle. The instruments used to record this photograph of the Veil nebula are known as narrow band filters. The parts of the Nebula that are shown in red show where high levels of hydrogen are present while the areas shown in blue-green have a high concertartion of oxygen.
