Summary
[edit]DescriptionCaldwell 33.jpg |
English: This Hubble image focuses on a tiny tendril in Caldwell 33, the Eastern Veil Nebula. By comparing this Hubble image taken in 1997 with an old ground-based photograph from 1953, scientists measured how far the shock front has moved and used that information to estimate the nebula’s age.

Headline | This image shows a small portion of a nebula called the Cygnus Loop. Covering a region on the sky six times the diameter of the full Moon, the Cygnus Loop is actually the expanding blastwave from a stellar cataclysm - a supernova explosion - which occurred |

JPEG file comment | This delicate Hubble Space Telescope image shows a tiny portion of the Cygnus loop, a supernova remnant in the constellation of Cygnus, the Swan. Measurements on this super-detailed image of a cosmic veil shows that the original supernova explosion took place only 5, 000 years ago. |
