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.
