The Hubble Telescope of the United States' National Space Agency (NASA) has captured one of the most insanely amazing photos taken in the outer space ever.

A star's violent death, which scientists of NASA believe was visible to our ancestors, around 8,000 years ago. It was short-lived bright point of light in the sky and left behind insanely amazing and beautiful cosmic veil, which the Hubble Telescope captured dramatically, according to Benchmark Reporter.

The supernova remnant that is known as Veil Nebula, a spiraling multicolored halo of gas that is 2,100 light years away from Earth, is still expanding from its original massive explosion about 18 years ago and was photographed by the space telescope.

The star was located in the Cygnus or The Swan constellation. Nebula's new images were created by overlaying images that were captured in 1997 by Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. More images were then captured from the space telescope's new Wild Field Camera 3.

The supernova's expanding wave of gas emitted is now 110 light years across. It produces light as it crashes at almost a million miles per hour into cooler and denser interstellar gas, NASA said.

As also stated by Tech Times, the Hubble images that have been newly released show merely two light years of the Nebula's extent, on its outer limb. The colors create a dazzling and amazing cosmic display---red from ionized hydrogen, green from sulfur, and blue from oxygen.

The Witch's Broom Nebula, which is scientifically tagged as NGC 6960, is the section of the supernova that has been captured by the space telescope. The whole Veil Nebula is one of the most known supernova remnants, which is created by a star that exploded that has a mass of 20 times the mass of the Sun.

The Nebula's distinctive delicate and draped structure, according to the astronomers, is the result of the gasses hitting the walls of a cavity in the surrounding interstellar gas created by a strong stellar wind that is emitted by the star before the explosion. The shockwave expansion produces the bright filaments that can be seen in the image, and variations in the temperatures as well as densities of chemicals in the walls are the ones that produce the different colors of the Veil Nebula.
