| Notes | The Network Nebula consists of NGC 6992 and NGC 6995. It is the easternmost portion of the Veil Nebula complex. In the above image NGC 6992 runs horizontally in a sweeping arc along the upper end of the frame, while NGC 6995 is the thicker, bright extension on the lower left side of the arc. This beautiful display of intertwining strands and folds of gas were formed over 5,000 years ago by a supernova explosion. |
