The Cygnus Loop is one of the nearest supernova remnants (440pc), allowing studies of spatial variations to be carried out at high physical resolution compared to other supernova remnants.The work of Hester, Raymond and Blair (1994) showed strong evidence for recent rapid shock deceleration in the Cygnus Loop.This is the result of a supernova explosion inside a stellar wind cavity, where the explosion has in the last few hundred years encountered the dense wall of the cavity.Over the past decade or so significant new observations have been made over the entire wavelength rangeincluding X-rays (Chandra), ultraviolet (FUSE), visible (HST), and radio.Here, results of the newer observations will be reviewed, including both larger scale observations of the global structure of the Cygnus Loop, and finer scale observations on the nature of the shocks and physical processes in the supernova remnant.This work supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.
