What is a Messier Object?
The Messier objects are a set of astronomical objects catalogued by French astronomer Charles Messier in his catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters first published in 1774. The original motivation behind the catalogue was that Messier was a comet hunter, and was frustrated by objects which resembled but were not comets. He therefore compiled a list of these objects.[1] The first edition covered 45 objects numbered M1 to M45. The total list consists of 110 objects, ranging from M1 to M110. The final catalogue was published in 1781 and printed in the Connaissance des Temps in 1784. Many of these objects are still known by their Messier number.[2] Because Messier lived and did his astronomical work in France in the Northern Hemisphere, the list he compiled contains only objects from the north celestial pole to a celestial latitude of about -35°. Many impressive Southern objects, such as the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are excluded from the list. Because all of the Messier objects are visible with binoculars or small telescopes (under favorable conditions), they are popular viewing objects for amateur astronomers. In early spring, astronomers sometimes gather for "Messier marathons", when all of the objects can be viewed over a single night. Answer from Wikipedia and all of its sources

Who discovered the Virgo constellation star?
The Virgo constellation does not have a single discoverer as its stars have been known and observed since ancient times. The constellation was first cataloged by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century.
When was Nebula found?
Nebulae were discovered soon after serious studies of the sky were begun in the 18th century by Charles Messier, who was searching for comets and would often stumble across faint smudges of light which he identified in a catalog of some 100 objects you should ignore as 'not comets'. His first entry was 'M1' the Crab Nebula, in 1758. No great interest in nebulae was taken until 1783 when William Herschel began assembling a catalog of over 2500 nebulae. By 1864 his son Sir John Herschel had assembled a 'General Catalog' of over 5000 nebulae, and J. L. Dreyer in 1888 produced the 'Index Catalog' with over 13,000 entries.

When was a nebula discovered?
Nebulae have been observed for centuries, but the first documented discovery of a nebula is attributed to Charles Messier in the 18th century. Messier cataloged various astronomical objects, including nebulae, which are now known as the Messier objects.
