Nebulae are vast clouds of dust, hydrogen, helium, and other ionized gases where stars are born. A birthplace to 1000 of new stars.

HUGE. Nebulae comes in many shapes. named after shape like ant nebula, hellix nebula, twin jet nebula. Considered one of the diverse phenomena within the universe.

Some nebulae are formed from the remnants of dying stars. For instance, planetary nebulae like the Ring Nebula are the remnants of stars similar to our Sun.

Nebula provide stunning view of colors. colors seen in images are false-color representations. these color helps to identify different elements present within the nebula.

Nebulae can span vast distances in space. The Orion Nebula, for example, is one of the closest nebulae to Earth and stretches over 24 light-years across.

The famous Pillars of Creation within the Eagle Nebula are such regions, where the process of star formation is actively occurring.

Supernova are result of massive star explosions. These explosions send shockwaves rippling through space, heating up surrounding gas and dust to create glowing nebulae.

Dark nebulae are dense clouds of gas and dust that obscure the light from objects behind them. The Horsehead Nebula is a famous example of a dark nebula.

When stars die, they release their enriched contents into space through stellar winds and explosions. that contribute to the formation of new stars, planets, and even life.

Nebulae are dynamic and ever-changing structures. They evolve over millions of years due to processes like stellar birth, death, and interactions with surrounding materials.
