'Veil' is also used figuratively. This is a telescopic photograph of the Veil Nebula in the constellation of Cygnus. It is the remains of a supernova.

A veil is a soft covering of all or part of the face. It has often been used by women in many cultures. It is often used by brides on their wedding day. It may have religious meaning, or it may be used for pleasure or dance. It is different from a mask because a mask is close-fitting, and often firm or hard, while a veil is soft and may fit loosely.
