   Summary Author:  John Chumack

   Shown above is 52 Cygni (bright star at upper center) and  NGC-6960
   (Veil Nebula – " The Witches Broom"), a  supernova remnant found
   in the constellation of  Cygnus, A massive star exploded about 5,000
   years ago leaving this beautiful filamentary remnant amongst a
   star-studded field of the Cygnus region of the  Milky Way. Though it
   may look spooky at this time of year, the Veil Nebula is in essence a
   cloud of  ionized gas and dust located about 2,400 light years from
   Earth. Image taken from my backyard in Dayton, Ohio on August 23, 2022.
