The Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus. It constitutes the visible portions of the Cygnus Loop (radio source W78, or Sharpless 103), a large but relatively faint supernova remnant.
The Marshal Martz Memorial Astronomical Association, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charity.

Magical. a spiritual experience. If the sky is right you may get a chance to look through a big telescope and see planets, nebulae, and globular clusters. ~Emily P
