It sounds like you are describing a nebula, which is a cloud of gas and dust in outer space. Nebulae can be illuminated by nearby stars, and their colors and shapes can vary depending on the composition of the gas and dust within them.

How do comets look?

Comets typically appear as bright, icy bodies with a glowing coma (dust and gas) surrounding a nucleus. They can be seen as a fuzzy or blurry object in the night sky with a long tail that points away from the Sun. The tail forms as ice and dust vaporize and get blown by the solar wind.
