The Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant estimated to be 160,000 years old, contains numerous subtle filaments which are difficult to see even on contrast-enhanced color images. But when the red-channel is viewed as a high contrast negative, the additional structure becomes much more apparent. To see this, put your mouse on the image.
