The Western Veil Nebula, NGC 6960 // Karl-Heinz Macek

The bright star is 52 Cygni which is in the foreground and unrelated to the nebula.

Rampaging Fronts of the Veil Nebula - March 7th, 1996.

"A supernova explosion of a high-mass star results in fast moving blast waves. At the front of the waves shown above, ionised gas in the Veil Supernova Remnant rushes out from the explosion, sweeps up material, and breaks up many atoms into constituent ions and electrons. Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope in 1993 indicate that the blue shock wave was catapulted away from the stellar explosion after the red shock wave, and had yet to catch up to it in some regions. The Veil supernova remnant's has a very large angular size - six times the diameter of the full Moon - and different parts of it are known as the "Cygnus Loop" and catalog numbers NGC 6960, NGC 6979, NGC 6992, and NGC 6995."

RCW 29 // Alex Woronow

This spiderweb of nebulae is mainly associated with the supernova remnant Puppis A, estimated to have exploded 3,700 years ago. Apparently the star that exploded did so asymmetrically, shooting the debris in one direction and the resulting neutron star in the opposite direction.

That neutron star is known as the "Cosmic Cannonball", running away from the scene of the crime at over 3 million miles per hour (or about 0.5% the speed of light).
