A Nebula is a gas of dust and minerals that surrounds a star. Also, a nebula is a birthplace of a star, where a star and sometimes a solar system is formed after a huge explosions

As of October 2023, the Ring nebula (M57) is estimated to be around 1,500 years old. It formed from the outer layers of a dying star that shed its material, creating the colorful gas cloud we see today. This makes it a relatively young nebula in astronomical terms.
A stellar nebula, often referred to as a primordial or star-forming nebula, is a vast cloud of gas and dust where new stars are born. In contrast, a planetary nebula is formed from the outer layers of a dying star, typically a medium-sized star, that have been expelled into space after the star has exhausted its nuclear fuel and shed its outer envelope. While stellar nebulae are associated with the birth of stars, planetary nebulae signify the end stages of a star's lifecycle.
a nebula is cloud of particles which forms into a star.
A nebula may condense and ignite to become a star, conversely a star may explode and form a nebula.
The Ant Nebula or "Chamber of Horrors" [See Link] can be found in the constellation Norma [See Link]
A planetary nebula is created when a low- to medium-mass star reaches the end of its life cycle and sheds its outer layers of gas into space. This process exposes the hot core of the star, which emits ultraviolet radiation that causes the surrounding gas to glow and form a colorful nebula.
When a planetary nebula dissipates, what remains is the core of the star that has shed its outer layers. This core, known as a white dwarf, is extremely dense and hot, gradually cooling over billions of years. The planetary nebula itself, which is the glowing gas and dust expelled by the dying star, eventually disperses into space.
My earth science book said as a globular cluster, so that's just a thought
A White Dwarf Star remains.
It will not, at least not on its own. NGC 6720 is not the sort of nebula that produces new stars; it is a planetary nebula formed from the gasses expelled from a dying star. At its center is a remnant called a white dwarf.
