They are the smallest manifestations of dark nebulae with sizes less than 3 light years across, and are most easily visible when silhouetted in front of emission nebulae or reflection nebulae. Though upper limits are difficult to decide, they generally contain between 0.1 and 2000 solar masses of gas and dust (above this they are simply known as dark nebulae), and form isolated stars, not massive star clusters. Bok Globules typically have temperatures of around 10 Kelvin.

What is a thick globule?
Thick globules are called bok globules. They are small interstellar clouds of very cold gas and dust that are so thick they are nearly totally opaque to visible light.
What are small nebulae about 1 lightyear in diameter that contain 10 to 1000 solar masses?
These are typically called Bok globules. They are dense, cold clouds of gas and dust where new stars are born. Due to their small size and high density, they are often considered as potential sites for the formation of star clusters or individual stars.
What is a dense pocket of matter that is the beginning of a star?
Stars form in molecular clouds and nebulae, consisting mostly of hydrogen, with some helium and lithium. When enough mass (along with a few other factors) accumulates, such clouds begin to collapse under their own weight, forming dense pockets of dust and gas called Bok Globules. As Bok Globules increase in mass, their cores undergo more and more pressure, and when the cloud reaches hydrostatic equilibrium, a protostar forms at the center.
What is the difference between a nebula and a globule?
A nebula is a vast cloud of gas and dust in space, often serving as a region where new stars are formed or as remnants of dead stars. In contrast, a globule is a smaller, denser region within a nebula, typically consisting of cold gas and dust that can collapse under gravity to form stars. While all globules can be found within nebulae, not all parts of a nebula are globules, as nebulae can contain a variety of structures and processes.
What celestial bodies begin with b?
Black Holes. Black dwarfs, Binary stars, Bok globules, Blue stars, Blue-white stars, Barium stars, Beta Cephei variables, Beta Lyrae stars,
Who is the chickens favortie composer?
Bok-bok-bok-Bach!
Do The Beatles bok bok in their songs?
No. The only song with "bok bok" in it was the ending to "Good Morning, Good Morning", in which you hear a sound loop of chickens and a rooster. But, no other songs have that. And, no Beatles actually say "bok bok".
What are The Two types of bright nebulae?
emission nebulae and reflection nebulae.
What are two types of bright nebulae?
emission nebulae and reflection nebulae.
Name the different types of nebulae?
The different types of nebulae include emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, and dark nebulae. Emission nebulae are clouds of gas and dust that emit light, reflection nebulae reflect light from nearby stars, and dark nebulae are dense clouds of dust that block the light from behind them.
The names of the different types of nebulae?
The main types of nebulae are emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, dark nebulae, and planetary nebulae. Emission nebulae glow with their own light, often due to hydrogen gas being ionized by nearby stars. Reflection nebulae reflect light from nearby stars. Dark nebulae are dense clouds of dust that obscure light. Planetary nebulae are the ejected outer layers of dying stars.
What are examples of nebulae?
Planetary nebulae (the cat's eye nebula) Emission nebulae (the orion nebula) Dark nebulae (the horsehead nebula) Supernova remnant nebulae (the crab)
