Does a nebula turn into a white dwarf?

A nebula does not directly turn into a white dwarf. A nebula will collapse to form stars. Low to medium mass stars become white dwarfs after they die. Some are the result of a supernova and do not collapse, they merely dissipate over time. The Crab Nebula is the most prominent example of this.


What is a Nebula?

Nebula means "Cloud" in Latin.A nebula is an interstellar cloud of hydrogen, helium, plasma and dust. They are often called "stellar nurseries" because stars are "born" within them.There are many types of Nebula, some stars have nebula's around them when they approach the final stages of their lives as in Wolf Rayet stars.Diffuse nebula which are nebula which have no defining shape or boundary.Dark nebula are so dense that it obscures the light from the background(Such as the Horsehead Nebula),or that it blocks out background stars(Such as the Coalsack Nebula).Reflection nebula are clouds of dust which are simply reflecting the light of a nearby star or stars. Such as the Witch Head Nebula.Emission nebula is a cloud of ionized gas (plasma) emitting light of various colors. Such as the Eagle nebula.Planetary nebula which forms from the shells of stars when they transform into white dwarfs. Such as the Cats Eye NebulaProtoplanetary nebula which is formed from the rapid creation of a star via stellar evolution. Such as the Egg NebulaSupernova remnants, the remains of a massive star when it explodes in a supernova explosion The resulting expanding shell of gas creates a diffuse nebula. Such as the Crab Nebula.

What is a close nebula to Orion's nebula?

A nebula is a cloud of dust and gas in space. Some of the clouds block out the light from the stars behind. These are called dark nebulae. One of the best-known is the Horsehead Nebula. Other dust clouds reflect the light from the stars and shine brightly. These are called bright nebulae. : Edit: The Great Orion Nebula is M42. M43 is a close nebula close to M42.
