NGC 6960: The Witch's Broom Nebula
This light shown is a result from an exploding star in the Veil Nebula. The west end of the nebula is shown. This is not an explosion as you imagine it. It is merely an expanding ball of gas. The supernova remenant lies about 1200 light years away from earth in the constellation cygnus. It is more commonly known as the Whitch's broom.
