Sharp Shirter Cygnus Loop Nebula, Outer Space Duvet Cover

Wispy tendrils of hot dust and gas glow brightly in this ultraviolet image of the Cygnus Loop Nebula, taken by NASAs Galaxy Evolution Explorer. The nebula lies about 1,500 light-years away, and is a supernova remnant, left over from a massive stellar explosion that occurred 5,000-8,000 years ago. The Cygnus Loop extends more than three times the size of the full moon in the night sky, and is tucked next to one of the 'swans wings' in the constellation of Cygnus. The filaments of gas and dust visible here in ultraviolet light were heated by the shockwave from the supernova, which is still spreading outward from the original explosion. The original supernova would have been bright enough to be seen clearly from Earth with the naked eye. Your home will be out of this world with this high-quality duvet! Options: Twin: 68 x 88 inches, Queen: 88 x 88 inches, King: 104 x 88 inches. All duvets are printed in the US and will ship within 5 - 7 days of your order.
