| The Witch's Broom Nebula in Cygnus is the western half of the Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant about 1400 lightyears away. The bright star at center is 52 Cygni, but one should avoid the temptation to assume that it is somehow related to the supernova -- it is not! Please compare NGC 6960 to NGC 6992. |
