Nebulae are composed of a mixture of hydrogen, helium, dust, and other elements.

Emission nebulae emit their own light due to the presence of ionized gases, often indicating active star formation.

The Eagle Nebula, also known as M16, is home to the iconic Pillars of Creation, a region of interstellar gas and dust.

The Carina Nebula, also known as NGC 3372, is renowned for its complex filamentary structures and is a rich region for studying star formation.

The Orion Nebula, also known as M42, is one of the most prominent nebulae visible from Earth and is easily recognizable by its distinctive shape.

Nebulae can be formed through various mechanisms, including supernova explosions, stellar winds, and interstellar collisions.

Reflection nebulae reflect light from nearby stars, illuminating the dust and gas particles within them.

The Crab Nebula, also known as M1, is the remnant of a supernova that occurred in 1054 AD and is associated with the Crab Pulsar.

The Butterfly Nebula, also known as NGC 6302, is a planetary nebula with a distinctive butterfly-like shape.

The Solar Nebula is the nebula from which the Sun and the planets of the Solar System formed.

Dark nebulae, also known as absorption nebulae, absorb light from background stars, creating regions of darkness in the sky.

Starburst Nebulae are regions of intense star formation, often found in the centers of galaxies, where massive stars are born.

The Tarantula Nebula, also known as 30 Doradus, is a region of intense star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.

Planetary Nebulae are the remnants of stars that have shed their outer layers, revealing their hot cores and creating intricate structures.

The Rosette Nebula, also known as NGC 2237, is a region of star formation and is known for its intricate filamentary structures and the effects of stellar winds.
