An ultraviolet image of the
Cygnus Loop, a large
supernova remnant in the constellation
Cygnus. Different parts of the loop emit
electromagnetic radiation in different ranges, including visible light for the arcs known collectively as the
Veil Nebula. The complete loop is only revealed through radio, infrared, and X-ray images.Photograph:
