Nebulae

Nebulae can appear to move due to the effects of gas and dust within them being pushed and pulled by various forces such as gravity, radiation pressure, and stellar winds. However, their movement is relatively slow on human timescales.

a nebula is the cloud of radioactive material dust smoke and debris caused by an exploding start, a nebula happens after a nova or super nova..and somtimes the collapse of a start causes black holes too in which case you wont see a nebula because the massive amount of gravity in the black holes sucks everything in, but yes a nebula is the cloud left over from an exploding star

The dense regions of a dark nebula are areas where interstellar dust and gas are more concentrated. These regions can sometimes lead to the formation of new stars through gravitational collapse. They appear dark because they block the light from background stars.

No, the Horsehead Nebula is a dark nebula in the constellation Orion and does not have any moons. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets, whereas nebulae are large clouds of gas and dust in outer space.

Nebulae are not stars. They are clouds of dust, hydrogen, helium, and other ionized gases in space where stars are born. Some nebulae can be observed because of the light of nearby stars reflecting off their gas and dust.

Yes, some nebulae can be seen with the naked eye, if you know where to look. They are better seen with binoculars, but in the right conditions some can be seen with the naked eye, like the Orion nebula, in the constellation of Orion.

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

For a supernova to directly destroy Earth, it would need to be less than 10 light years away. However, even if a supernova were to occur farther away, its effects on Earth's atmosphere and climate could still be substantial.

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.

Gravity is the force that holds matter in a nebula together. As the nebula contracts under its own gravity, the particles begin to clump together, eventually forming stars and other celestial bodies.

Ionization nebulae are predominantly located within spiral galaxies, often in regions of active star formation such as in the arms and central regions of the galaxy. They are also commonly found around hot, massive stars that emit enough energy to ionize the surrounding gas.

Ionization nebulae in the galaxy M51 are predominantly located in the spiral arms of the galaxy. These regions are where massive, young stars are found, which emit high-energy ultraviolet radiation that ionizes the surrounding gas, creating the colorful nebulae. The ionization nebulae are often observed in regions of active star formation within the galaxy.

The two most abundant elements in nebulae are hydrogen and helium. These elements make up the majority of the mass in interstellar clouds and are the building blocks for the formation of stars and planets.

Two types of stars that can form from a nebula are main sequence stars, like our sun, and giant stars, which are larger and more luminous than main sequence stars.

Gravitational force pulls the dust and gas inward, trying to collapse the nebula, while outward gas pressure from nuclear fusion reactions occurring in the core of the nebula pushes back, preventing the collapse. These two forces are in equilibrium, keeping the nebula stable.

It takes about 10 million years for it to form. This is not necessarily true for all nebulae. It is hard to tell the exact average of how long it takes. There are different factors that determine how long it takes.

Eventually, when the star becomes sufficiently massive, the pressure in the core sends temperatures high enough to begin nuclear fusion, and gravity (which so far has been the dominant force) is counterbalanced by radiation pressure.

Well... I guess you could say that...

Nebulae are just really gas clouds... usually they form stars (inside galaxies) but a large enough one could form a galaxy by creating enough gravitationally bound stars. It isn't likely to happen now though. It did happen frequently during the early universe where there was essentially nothing more than massive nebulae but now the average density of hydrogen gas means at most two or three stars at a time.

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.

Nebular fusion is the process by which gas and dust in a nebula come together to form stars. As the material in the nebula clumps together due to gravity, it becomes denser and hotter, eventually reaching temperatures and pressures where nuclear fusion reactions can occur, leading to the birth of new stars.

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.

light gasses (H, He) ... hydrogen compounds (H2O CH4 NH3)...rocks...metal

it is not the it is a stellar nebula considering that there are multiple stellar nebulas in the universe. what a steller nebula is though is dust and such maing a nebula then when the nebula is strong enough to make a star is creates a prostar, then it is either a massive star or a non massive star. soon they will either turn into a super giant or a red giant. then either the star will explode or simply poof then either it is a white dwarf a neutron star or a black hole. the end

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.
