Revisited Hubble telescope image reveals Veil Nebula in exquisite detail

[Grim Reaper 6]

The Hubble Space Telescope has revealed the cosmos in stunning detail over its three decades of service. The telescope's view of the Veil Nebula -- a remnant of a supernova -- has gotten a makeover that reveals previously unseen details of the structure. The Veil is 2,100 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan. It was the subject of a 2015 Hubble image release, but the new look highlights what the European Space Agency (ESA) described as"the nebula's delicate threads and filaments of ionized gas" in a statement this week.

The changes between the two image versions may seem subtle at first, but the delight is in the details. "The new post-processing methods have further enhanced details of emissions from doubly ionized oxygen (seen here in blues), ionized hydrogen, and ionized nitrogen (seen here in reds)," ESA said.

I can't wait to see what the new James Webb instrument has for us, if they ever get it up, and then new instruments. Exciting times ahead, woohoo!

I think we are in trouble Houston, because James Webb can no longer get it up!!!!

But their are certainly exciting times ahead even without James Webb, no doubt about that!!
