My Astrophotography – Caldwell 34 (C34)

Caldwell 34 (NGC6992 / The Eastern Veil Nebula)

• Called the Veil Nebula, the debris is one of the best-known supernova remnants, deriving its name from its delicate, draped filamentary structures.
  o
• The Hubble Space Telescope has captured three magnificent sections of the Veil Nebula – the shattered remains of a supernova that exploded some 7,500 years ago.
  o
• It’s one of the most famous and beautiful supernova remnants in the sky, forming part of a huge structure called the Cygnus Loop.
  o
• The nebula’s colours come from
  
  …..– Blue / Green (glowing oxygen)
  …..– Red (hydrogen)
  …..– Green / Yellow (sulfur)
  
  These appear where the shock wave slams into surrounding gas.
