Nebulae are made primarily of gas and dust in space. The gas is mostly hydrogen and helium, while the dust consists of various elements such as carbon, oxygen, and metals. These materials are the building blocks for new stars and planetary systems within the nebula.
Two types of nebulae are emission nebulae and reflection nebulae. Emission nebulae are made up of ionized gas that emits light of various colors, while reflection nebulae are made up of dust particles that reflect light from nearby stars.
Emission nebulae are nebulae that are lit from within. They are made up of ionized gases that emit light of various colors depending on the elements present in the nebula. The light comes from the recombination of electrons with protons in the ionized gas.
In astronomy, diffuse nebulae is the general term for illuminated nebulae. The three types of diffuse nebulae are reflection nebulae, emission nebulae and supernova remnants. They are diffuse as opposed to the non-diffuse dark nebulae, i.e. the particles have spread out.
The different types of nebulae include emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, and dark nebulae. Emission nebulae are clouds of gas and dust that emit light, reflection nebulae reflect light from nearby stars, and dark nebulae are dense clouds of dust that block the light from behind them.
The main types of nebulae are emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, dark nebulae, and planetary nebulae. Emission nebulae glow with their own light, often due to hydrogen gas being ionized by nearby stars. Reflection nebulae reflect light from nearby stars. Dark nebulae are dense clouds of dust that obscure light. Planetary nebulae are the ejected outer layers of dying stars.

The most abundant gas in emission nebulae in the Milky Way is hydrogen. Emission nebulae are commonly made up of ionized hydrogen gas that emits light as it recombines with electrons. This creates the vibrant pink and red colors often seen in these nebulae.
The two main types of bright nebulae are emission nebulae, which emit light from ionized gases, and reflection nebulae, which reflect light from nearby stars. Emission nebulae are usually red or pink in color, while reflection nebulae appear blue due to scattering of light.
