i do know that its a diffuse mass of interstellar dust or gas or both, visible as luminous patches or areas of darkness depending on the way the mass absorbs or reflects incident radiation. Hope that helps. :)
Gravitational force pulls gas and dust particles together to form a nebula, while the outward pressure from gas particles pushing against each other (thermal pressure) prevents the nebula from collapsing under gravity. These two forces work together to stabilize a nebula.

An absorption nebula is a dark nebula, which absorbs all incident radiation without reemission.
Another popular nebula is the Eagle Nebula, also known as Messier 16. It is located in the constellation Serpens and is famous for the "Pillars of Creation," which are towering columns of interstellar gas and dust where new stars are forming.
