The glowing clouds that you see in pictures from space are called emission nebulas. A emission nebula is a cloud of hot, glowing cloud of gas and dust in space. These nebulas absorb the light of nearby stars and reach very high temperatures. The high temperature causes them to glow. Emission nebulas are often found in regions of space where new stars are forming.

What are space clouds?

Space clouds, also known as nebulae, are large clouds of gas and dust in outer space. They can vary in size and shape, and are often birthplaces for new stars. Nebulae can be visible to us as faint glowing patches in the night sky.


What is a glowing cloud of gas?

A glowing cloud of gas is typically a nebula, which is a large cloud of gas and dust in space that emits light due to the presence of energized atoms and molecules. These clouds can be illuminated by nearby stars or by processes such as shockwaves or radiation from massive stars.

What are glowing gas clouds that will eventually become stars?

Glowing gas clouds that will eventually become stars--as the question is phrased the answer must be: Reflection Nebulae. These are clouds of gas lit by nearby stars. Eventually this gas will be incorporated in new stars, but probably not for a long, long time.The asker may have been after: What are the interstellar gas clouds glowing in THE INFRARED that will eventually become stars?The answer to this is a proto-stellar cloud.Previous answer:ProtostarsThis is not correct. A protostar is exactly what it sounds like--a star in the process of forming. In the protostar state, a gaseous mass has formed a central clump surrounded by a thick disk of gas and dust.The cloud of gas and dust surrounding a protostar make it very hard to detect, and in fact they are only seen in the deep infrared--they are not visible to the human eye.
