| APOD 30 October 2013 A Spectre in the Eastern Veil |
The picture shown is a close up of the eastern part of the Veil Nebula, which is a large supernova remnant. The part of the nebula in this picture is only as large as the moon. This picture was recorded through narrow band filters, with the hydrogen emissions showing up in red hues while the oxygen emissions showing up in blue/green hues. This part is opposite to the western part of the Veil Nebula, named the Witch's Broom. I think this is really awesome due to the fact that it looks somewhat like a spectral bat and just has some pretty vivid colors.
