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.

Who found the first nebula?
It was found by a German man named Seemore Butts. He had a hairy face and chest and butt.
What is the smallest nebula ever found?
The smallest nebula ever found is the planetary nebula called "K 1-27." Discovered in 1996, it measures only about 0.02 light-years across. This nebula is notable for its compact size and unique structure, which includes a bright central star surrounded by a faint halo of gas. Its small dimensions challenge our understanding of nebula formation and evolution.

What is the Eagle Nebula cluster of stars catalogued as?
The "Eagle Nebula" cluster of stars is classified as being part of a diffuse emission nebula. It can be found in the "Serpens" constellation of stars and is thought to be around 5.5 million years old.
Is a nebula found in a spherical halo that surrounds the galaxys spiral disk or along a spiral disk or interstellar space?
A nebula is found in interstellar space.Globular cluster is the one found in a spherical halo that surrounds a spiral galaxy and open cluster is the one usually found along a galaxy's spiral disk.
Is a nebula found in the solar system?
No, a nebula is not found within the solar system. Nebulae are vast clouds of gas and dust located in interstellar space, typically found between stars in our galaxy. While our solar system is surrounded by the interstellar medium, which contains some gas and dust, it does not contain a nebula itself. Nebulae can play a role in star formation, but they are separate from the solar system's structure.
What is a mass of gases dust particle s and stars that are located in space?
