Well... I guess you could say that...

Nebulae are just really gas clouds... usually they form stars (inside galaxies) but a large enough one could form a galaxy by creating enough gravitationally bound stars. It isn't likely to happen now though. It did happen frequently during the early universe where there was essentially nothing more than massive nebulae but now the average density of hydrogen gas means at most two or three stars at a time.

Are nebulas in elliptical galaxies?

Because of their age, elliptical galaxies are believed to have older stars and less gas and dust in their insterstellar medium than other types of galaxies, and thus their nebulae are less common. However, nebulae are presumed to exist in almost all galaxies; and some recent observations hint that the central black holes of elliptical galaxies may tend to preserve interstellar gas by preventing it from cooling enough for star formation.

Do galaxies have nebulae?

Many do, certainly. However, the very oldest galaxies have used up most of their starforming material by now. Spiral galaxies such as our own have lots and lots of nebulae. Often galactic rotation can start off bouts of star formation from the nebulae (both bright and dark) as they come under the gravitational influence of new stars in their neighbourhood.

No. M or Messier is a name given to certain nebulae and galaxies.


Where are nebulae located in spiral galaxies?

Nebulae are located within the spiral arms of spiral galaxies. These regions are areas of star formation where gas and dust clouds collide and condense, leading to the birth of new stars. The glowing gas and dust of nebulae can be seen as colorful patches within the spiral arms of galaxies like the Milky Way.

Where do Stars Galaxies Nebulae and Planets fit in the grand scheme?

Galaxies/nebulae are at the top of the tree; each one contains several billion stars. Each star might have many planets orbiting around it, and planets can have many moons.
