The Eerie Veil Nebula

It looks like a screaming skull to me.

Found above on the cosmos is this ghostly Veil Nebula, a large expanding cloud born of the death explosion of a massive star.

Light from the original supernova explosion likely reached Earth over 5,000 years ago. Also known as the Cygnus Loop, the Veil Nebula now spans nearly 3 degrees or about 6 times the diameter of the full Moon.

You really can find a lot of things in the cosmos.
