As that's the prevailing view, pretty much everybody except Harlow Shapley, who thought the Milky Way was the major feature of the universe and all the "nebulae" were its satellites.
In the "Great Debate" (in the year 1920) between Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis on this subject, it was Curtis who argued that many of the nebulae were outside our Galaxy.
So, the answer you want is probably "Heber Curtis".

What are the two factors that interact in nebulas?
i dont know this is confusing
What Celestial bodies?
The term "celestial bodies" refers to all of the objects in space that are identified by name or location: comets, asteroids, moons, rings, planets, stars, nebulas, galaxies, and any other material structure seen or detected in space. The term "celestial body" is usually not used to refer to meteoroids and small space debris. It does not apply to the individual tiny particles in rings, or to the solar wind, or to any energy phenomena.
What is the word for the earliest stage of a star's life?
first it is a nebula, a large cloud of gas and dust that is spread out in an immense volume. After it forms a protostar, which is a large cloud of gas and dust with enough mass to form a star. Then it matters what is that star's mass. it could be a high mass star or a small or medium mass star like our sun.
What should you look for when buying a telescope?
Quality of the Lenses and/or mirrors first. Coatings put on those mirrors/lenses. Telescope design - Refractor, Reflector, Catadioptric (Combination of lenses and mirrors. What do you want to observe in the sky? - Planets? (The highest quality refractor is the best but most expensive. Stars and Nebulae? you want to get a large diameter reflector to gather as much light as possible. Do you want a compromise in design quality choose a catadioptric. You want a good and sturdy mount (one with mass). many telescopes come with computer controls to make set up and locating objects easier. Telescopes and their uses are simple and very to extremely complicated at the same time. Quality = costs money, Quality + bigger size = often exponentially more money and weight The two leading telescope brands are Meade and Celestron. Perhaps if one wants the best compromise of resolution with light gathering capacity and portability at the lowest price you would choose a catadioptric which is probably why these are the most popular selling telescopes. If someone is a beginner they might want to choose a telescope 4" or smaller. intermediate 5" to 8". advanced - 8" to 10" to 20" etc........ There is an "Astronomical" amount of things one could consider in acquiring a telescope and Astronomy is a hobby that can entertain for a lifetime. One can get a very good feel for astronomy and its potential from a good quality 4" or 5" telescope for a beginner and would be a good choice for such at a reasonable price. This would help you decide if you liked astronomy. There is a lot more to learn than is what I stated here but these are good fundamentals. It is often stated that the best telescope is the one that's used the most. Meaning that if you buy a big expensive telescope and have to bring it in and outside it may not get used often, but a smaller one that is easily brought in and out may get a lot more use and satisfaction out of. I am talking with over twenty years experience and I know I will never run out of things to do with my telescopes. Oh, and did you want to take pictures? Sorry that's for another book.
When did space form?
Creator of the UniverseThe big bang theory. Unexpecting WorldMany religions believe that God revealed the universe, or the Big Bang had some previous releases of matter. Gods creation (THE UNIVERSE)is unto a picture, it has similarities and patterns. It is as a picture painted by an artist. One looks upon paintings of different artists and can see these similarities and patterns, which tells the trained eye, it was painted by the same artist.In this case of the universe, God is the artist.Man seeing these patterns, and not willing to accept them as gods, uses the evolution to explain them. Otherwise the question where these patterns came from would remain unanswered, omitting god.Therefore seeing these patterns and not being able to explain them, keeping god out of the picture, He uses evolution , as mans answer.But an artist does not have to repaint picture one to get picture two, yet man seeing these patterns, and not accepting creation, states picture one evolved into picture two, to make the answer acceptable within the laws of the universe.Another example, lets take the word nature.It is used as mans way to replace god. Rules and regulations that govern the universe, that man in all his knowledge cannot change or even can understand. If this is so, knowing a power greater then we exists, and controls these laws and regulations, its the proof of a living god.More proof of this, Enstein, his theories proven, Matter per say, in our knowledge, cannot be created or destroyed. Matter can be converted to energy, and energy into matter, but the total amount of matter and energy in the universe remains the same.If you take a match,and burn it, and were able to capture the light, heat, smoke, and ash, it would equal what you started with. Knowing this and looking to Enstein E=mc2.Energy=matter X speed of light squared.This equation E=MC2,is used to measure the energy formed when matter is converted into energy. It proves a creation or start. This is proven in the making of the A and H bombs.This proven fact shows matter cannot be destroyed only changed or converted in mans knowledge, according to the rules as ser forth by god for man.Using plutonium to make a bomb,the splitting of this atom to make 2 other atoms of lesser atomic weight, the difference converted into energy according to e=mc2.Using heavy hydrogen and fusion, two heavy hydrogen atoms (H2) into helium (H3), we make the h bomb, the lost proton converted into engery according to e=mc2.If this is proven, and man measures quantums of energy and matter, how can we state as we do, that is, those not believing in creation and god, the beginning just came into being, and evolution took care of the rest.If you take the smallest breakdown of an atom, it is as complex as man himself.How can one accept all matter and energy was there at the beginning. We in our knowledge know man cannot create or destroy matter.The big bang theory for the universe therefore is wrong. Where did the matter come from, that exploded.Now that we have proven that man and so called evolution did not cause what is, to exist. This is what happened. God created matter, and created energy or light.The bible states in the beginning god made the heavens and the earth, and he said let there be light. Therefore a creation occurred, and this universe is gods handywork, and we are the product of his creation . What came first is unimportant, for if one has the knowledge to create matter, one can create energy since they are interchangeable. He does not need one to change into the other,as man does, only man is bound by gods rules, god is not. He created these rules.The universe and Man are bound by these laws,proof of a living god. Man cannot restrict gods creation and power.AnswerThere is an emerging collection of theories called "Membrane Theory". There are certain properties of gravity that are difficult to explain. As it turns out, these properties can easily be explained if we fit it mathematically into the current 11-dimension structure theorized for the universe. We know that there are many dimensions beyond the obvious 3, and that they exist at very small scale on the quantum level. This structure has given rise to Membrane Theory, which holds that our universe is actually a membrane in the 11th dimension. It is theorized that possibly, our universe came into being as a result of the collision of two already existing membranes in the 11th dimension. The collision was in effect our Big Bang. This theory opens up wonderful possibilities about all kinds of things happening before our humdrum Big Bang. From a Buddhist Perspective:The Big Bang Theory is posited by an array of qualified scientists upon discovery based around "theoretical" approaches in physics. It certainly has plausibility considering it's such a talked about phenomenon between scientists and people of religious backround. In the grand scheme of things the universe is comprised of matter and energy. If we were to to break down matter to it's most infintesimal form one would encounter particles introducing the concept of quantum mechanics. The principles of quantum mechanics evolve around the concept that particles move freely under any given situation, meaning one cannot measure or perhaps predict the movement of a particle under any given circumstance insofar as saying the most intricate mathematical equation could only posit probability not predictability. Therefore if man can't even predict the movement of a particle how is it possible to predict the formation of an entire universe? Questions such as What caused the "Big Bang Theory"? What occurred before the "Big Bang Theory" certainly are important questions that hold merit yet science for the most part without generalizing turns it's cheek to answer such relevant questions pertaining to the formation of the universe. I feel the right approach to solving these metaphysical questions starts with an open dialouge between scientists and spiritualists. Speaking on behalf of Buddhists and Hindus we're more than happy to discuss these very issues with secularists the only problem is secularists without generalizing, but based upon my own personal experiences communicating with them are closed-off from even considering such a topic of discussion.
What is the name of a scientist that studies nebulas?
Astronomer, Astro Physicist, are two names that come to mind.
What is the center of a distant nebulas?
Massive stars are the center of a distant nebula. The massive stars are formed as the gas in the interstellar medium collapses under its own weight. The size of a nebula depends on the size of the original gas cloud.
When did Nebulas Ray happen?
Nebulas Ray happened in 1994.
When was Nebulas Ray created?
Nebulas Ray was created in 1994.
What do nebulas have to do with stars?
Stars form in nebulas. They're like star nurseries. The gas and dust in nebulas helps to form stars in their early stages.
Are nebulas bigger than earth?
Nebulas are interstellar clouds consisting of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases. Nebulas vary in size, so some are bigger than Earth, and others are not.

The nebula forms into a protostar.
Do new stars form in nebulas?
yes
What are the release dates for The Universe - 2007 Nebulas 2-14?
