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
What else can I help you with?
If light reflects off an object what determines the color?
When light hits an object, some of the light spectrum is absorbed and some is reflected. The colour you see is the reflected light. The rest is absorbed. For example a red T shirt will absorb all the colours in the light spectrum a nd reflect red. Black absorbes all light and reflects non hence darkness and white is the reflection of the full spectrum. Orange is a blended reflection of Yellow and red.
Your solar system is thought to have formed from a nebula of dust and gas Most of this nebula condensed to form the sun What is primarily responsible for causing these materials to condense?
gravitational pull of nebula materials on each other
What is the scientific name for the fear of your reflection?
Spectrophobia (from Latin: spectrum, "ghost") is a kind of specific phobia involving a morbid fear of mirrors and one's own reflections. Catoptrophobia (from the word catoptric meaning using a mirror to focus light; from Greek word katoptrikos ) is the fear of mirrors. This phobia is distinct from Eisoptrophobia, which is the fear of your own reflection.
What is the bouncing of light off an object?
Reflection
What can the scientist infer about the relationship of the nebula and the pulsars life cycle?
Nebulas are interstellar clouds made of dust and gases and a pulsar is a kind of star. A pulsar is formed inside of a nebula, therefore a scientist could conclude that without a nebula a pulsar could not exist.
A glowing gasous nebula whose light comes from the fluorescence of a nearby star is a?
reflection nebula- An interstellar cloud of gas and dust that shines because light from nearby bright stars is reflected or scattered toward us. The emission component of the spectrum is due to the gas, the reflection component is due to the dust.
What is the difference between a emission nebula and a reflection nebula?
Emission nebula glow and reflection nebula reflect the light form other stars
What galaxy is the reflection nebula in?
fgmh
What are the different kinds of nebula?
Reflection, Hydrogen, Dark, Planetary, Supernova Remnants, Emission.
Where is the ant nebula?
The Ant Nebula or "Chamber of Horrors" [See Link] can be found in the constellation Norma [See Link]
What does a large cloud of gas and dust called?
A large cloud of gas and dust in space is called a nebula. These nebulae are often the birthplaces of stars and planets, with various types such as emission, reflection, and dark nebulae.
The Orion nebula m 42 is a hot thin cloud of glowing gas so its spectrum is?
The spectrum of the Orion Nebula (M42) would show emission lines typical of hot, ionized gas, such as hydrogen-alpha and doubly ionized oxygen. This is because the gas in the nebula is being energized by nearby hot stars, causing it to emit light at specific wavelengths.
Is there such thing as purple and what are the cuses?
Purple does exist and it is caused by reflection of that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What do you call a cloud of dust and gas in space?
A clouds of dust and gas in space is called a nebula. Nebula sometimes turn into stars under the right conditions. There are many different classifications give to nebulas. These include ring, emission, reflection and dark nebulae.
What is a cocoon nebulae?
The Cocoon Nebula, also known as IC 5146, is a reflection and emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is a region in space where new stars are forming, surrounded by gas and dust clouds. The nebula gets its name because it appears like a cocoon with a bright cluster of young stars at its center.
What is cat's eye nebula made out of?
The Cat's Eye Nebula is primarily made up of gas and dust, with elements such as hydrogen, helium, and traces of heavier elements like oxygen and nitrogen. The colors seen in the nebula are due to the emission and reflection of light by these different elements and compounds.
Which nebulae would be classified as a dark nebula?
Dark nebulae are dense regions of interstellar dust and gas that block the light from stars and other objects behind them. Examples of well-known dark nebulae include the Horsehead Nebula in the constellation Orion, the Coalsack Nebula in the Southern Hemisphere, and the Pipe Nebula in Ophiuchus. These nebulae appear as dark silhouettes against the background of brighter stars and emission or reflection nebulae.
