No, it is a large collection of gas in space.

∙ 16y agoNo, a nebula is not a galaxy. A nebula is a cloud of gas and dust in space, while a galaxy is a collection of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter held together by gravity. Galaxies can contain nebulae, among other structures.

Yes, a galaxy is typically much larger than a nebula. Galaxies are massive systems containing billions to trillions of stars, while nebulae are clouds of gas and dust in space that can range in size from a few light-years to hundreds of light-years across.
No, the Pillars of Creation is a famous star-forming region located in the Eagle Nebula in the constellation Serpens. It is not in the Milky Way Galaxy itself but rather a part of our galaxy.

Yes, unless it's a galaxy or nebula outside of the Milky Way... all the singular stars you can see are within our galaxy.
Earth is IN a galaxy - as is the nebula.
A Galaxy is far bigger than a nebula.
A nebula galaxy does not exist.
The Orion nebula is part of our own galaxy (the Milky Way). The Orion nebula is about 1500 light-years away from us. Our galaxy is about 100000 light-years across.

Yes. There are many planetary nebulae in our galaxy.

it is plop of a difference
The nebula NGC 2440
No. Nebulae exist in almost every galaxy.
Considering the distance to the Cats Eye Nebula is only 3,300 light years away, it is going to be within our own Milky Way Galaxy.
