In space and time anything is possible.
Within our lifetime, then it will not happen, however in about 2.5 billion years the Andromeda Galaxy will collide with our galaxy, the Milky Way.
Earth is IN a galaxy - as is the nebula.
The Trifid Nebula is about 5,200 light years away from Earth.
Yes, if the asteroid is captured by the Earth's gravitational pull.
The distance between two points is the distance between them. It doesn't depend on the method an object uses to move between the two points. It also doesn't depend on what route an object follows between them, or even whether or not anything moves between the two points. The distance between the earth and the Orion Nebula is the distance, even though no object has ever moved between the earth and the Orion Nebula.
Orion Nebula is much further from the earth than the Sun is.
The Helix Nebula is much larger than Earth. It spans about 2.5 light-years in diameter, while Earth's diameter is about 12,742 kilometers. This means the Helix Nebula is thousands of times larger than Earth.
The Crab Nebula is too far away for its energy to have any impact on Earth.
Depending on your version of Google Earth. Go View --> Switch to sky --> search for Crab Nebula or M1
Swan. To me, that doesn't rhyme. The answer may be the "prawn nebula".
I think its the helix nebula
It is the distance of the extension of what your eyes can see. If the earth wasn't formed, there can be no possibility of measuring distances to or from it.
The star that created the Crab nebula exploded in the year 1054
