When do stars leave the nebula?
I have no idea. If a star is born within a nebula, how or why would it be compelled to leave it, since the gravity of everything inside the nebula would seem to hold it in there? So it doesn't make sense that a star like the sun would ever leave the nebula. Of course there is probably an explanation, but not one that I can find online very easily
Does nebulae produce more than one star?
Yes, they produce lots of stars. A nebula is often described as being a nursery of stars.
Why doesn't the Horsehead Nebula glow like other nebulae?
Horsehead Nebula doesn't glow like other nebulae because it is older than other nebulae and was probably a lot smaller. In addition, Horsehead Nebula is farther away from the Earth than other nebulae, so it may seem that it doesn't glow as bright as other nebulae. No, this isn't right! The horsehead nebula doesn't glow for one reason - it isn't illuminated by any stars whose energy is enough to make the gas shine. That's the only difference between a 'bright' diffuse nebula (like M42) and a 'dark' one like the Horsehead or the Coalsack. M42 (the Orion nebula) is bright because there are several hot, energetic stars embedded inside it, and which cause it to 'shine'.
Where would be the most likely place to find an ionization nebula?
The location of the nebula is in many places because the nebula exists in different constellations. A nebula is a cloud of interstellar dust.
Does a nebula ever die?
A nebulae can only die if it's right by a black hole or if all the stars that can be formed are formed which uses up the nebulae
What objects appear suddenly as new stars but eventually fade from view?
Supernova. There are Chinese and European accounts from centuries ago of "guest stars," new stars that appeared and faded from view. We can see the expanding remnants of those supernova today--one is 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.

What is the spectrum of a reflection nebula?
A reflection nebula is a cloud of gas and dust which does not create its own light, but instead shines by reflecting the light from nearby stars. The brightest reflection nebulas are places where new stars are being formed. Here the gas and dust is thick and shines by the light of new, bright stars. Sometimes the gas is so thick that the new stars cannot be seen
Does nebulae produce more than one star?
Yes, they produce lots of stars. A nebula is often described as being a nursery of stars.
Where would you most likely find a nebula?
You can find a Nebula just about anywhere in space. They are big floating masses of dust and gas that form stars.
What does a nebula do?
A Nebula is a massive cloud of dust, gas and debris (sometimes left over from a star that has died in a supernova explosion) drifting in interstellar space. It is from these nebula that stars are thought to form. Once the stars "come to life" this is thought to kick start the formation of other stars and planets from the remaining gas, dust, rock, metal in the dust cloud.
What causes a nebula to change into a star?
Do you mean a nova? A Nebula is a large group of stars and dust in the sky. e.g. the Orion nebula. An individual star would not ordinarily change into a nebula, but the Crab Nebula is one such, first seen on earth about 1054 CE. But it had taken about 6500 years for the light to reach us. If your query was about nova or supernova, ask again.
What do nebula do?
I nebula is a huge dust cloud in space that forms new stars. Some nebulas are so big that a tiny finger tip would be bigger than our solar system. I will edit this everyday. This is a warning. ANSWERS.COM WILL CRASH YOUR COMPUTER SO BAD. MY OTHER ONE DIED BECAUSE OF THIS
How does the life cycle of a star differ between one that is born from a large nebula as opposed to one born in a very large nebula?
None at all/ The life cycle of a star is based on it's initial mass, not where it was formed.
Is a solar nebula larger than a neutron star?
Yes, a solar nebula is much larger than a neutron star. In terms of objects in space, neutron stars are tiny; only a few miles across. A stellar nebula such as the one that formed the sun is light years across.
Is there Evidence that the Orion region is actively forming stars?
Star formation was a one-time event. Star decay and death still occur, but stars can only be newly observed, not newly formed.
