This photo, supplied by NASA-ESA, shows a wispy portion of the Veil Nebula -- the shattered remains of a supernova that exploded some 5 - 10,000 years ago -- as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope and released Tuesday, July 31, 2007. The intertwined rope-like filaments of gas result from the enormous amounts of energy released as the fast-moving debris from the explosion ploughs into its surroundings and creates shock fronts.The image displays two characteristic features: sharp filaments and diffuse emission, which correspond to two different angles of viewing sharp filaments correspond to an edge-on view of a shock front, and diffuse emission corresponds to a face-on view of it.
