Does a nebula ever die?
Nebulas do not actually "die" in the sense that they are dynamic and ever-changing regions of space where new stars can be born. As stars within a nebula use up their fuel and eventually die, the nebula can disperse or be reshaped by the forces of the dying star. The material in a nebula can be recycled to form new stars and planetary systems.
What is the most famous nebula?
The Orion Nebula (M42) is one of the most famous and brightest nebulas in the night sky. It is a stellar nursery where new stars are forming and is visible to the naked eye in the constellation of Orion.
Does nebulae produce more than one star?
Yes, they produce lots of stars. A nebula is often described as being a nursery of stars.
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
What is the fuzzy star you can see in Orion's sword?
The fuzzy star in Orion's sword is the Orion Nebula, also known as Messier 42. It is a diffuse nebula located in the Milky Way, and it is one of the brightest nebulae visible to the naked eye. The Orion Nebula is a stellar nursery where new stars are forming.

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 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.
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
What is the difference between a nebula and nuclear fusion?
A nebula is a massive cloud of gas and other materials that is revolving around one focal point which is the most massive point and therefore has the strongest gravity which makes the rest of the cloud revolve around it. This eventually creates a star. Nuclear fusion on the other hand is simply the combination of two particles such as when hydrogen atoms collide to create helium (this is the most common kind of fusion in stars). Basically fusion takes two and makes one (basically, it can emit more particles too) while a nebula is a giant space cloud, the birth of stars.
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
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.
