Traveling through paintings in space An Exploration of Nebulae by Mr. Wilkinson

What is a Nebula? A Nebula is a interstellar collection of dust and gas which is being held together and compacted by gravity. A Nebula is a interstellar collection of dust and gas which is being held together and compacted by gravity. Nebulae are often thought of as the birthplace of stars or nurseries for galaxies. Nebulae are often thought of as the birthplace of stars or nurseries for galaxies. After long periods of time, gravity will compact the gas and dust in the Nebula to form new stars, planets, and galaxies. After long periods of time, gravity will compact the gas and dust in the Nebula to form new stars, planets, and galaxies. This Nebula is called NGC 604 and it is 2.7 million light-years away from Earth.

How Were They Discovered? It is believed that the ancient Mayan people discovered the first Nebula without the use of a telescope. It is believed that the ancient Mayan people discovered the first Nebula without the use of a telescope. By 1781 over 100 Nebulae were found with the aid of telescopes. By 1781 over 100 Nebulae were found with the aid of telescopes. In the 1920’s, Edwin Hubble discovered that the reason we see Nebula is due to their association with stars. In the 1920’s, Edwin Hubble discovered that the reason we see Nebula is due to their association with stars. The Hubble Space Telescope helped discover the first images of proto- planetary discs in the Orion Nebula providing stronger proof to the theory that Nebulae are the birthplace of stars and planets. The Hubble Space Telescope helped discover the first images of proto- planetary discs in the Orion Nebula providing stronger proof to the theory that Nebulae are the birthplace of stars and planets. The Crab Nebula is the remains of a star that went supernova.

Types of Nebulae There are four main types of Nebulae that are known There are four main types of Nebulae that are known Dark Nebulae Dark Nebulae H II Nebula (Diffuse, Bright, H II Nebula (Diffuse, Bright, and Reflection) and Reflection) Planetary Nebulae Planetary Nebulae Supernova Remnant Nebulae Supernova Remnant Nebulae The Hubble Space Telescope has helped advance our knowledge of Nebulae by viewing deeper into space than ever before

Dark Nebulae A dark nebula is a nebula that is so dense that it blocks out any background light behind it. A dark nebula is a nebula that is so dense that it blocks out any background light behind it. The Horse-head Nebula is an example of a Dark Nebula The Horse-head Nebula is an example of a Dark Nebula

H II Nebulae H II Nebulae are extremely large and have had recent star formation. H II Nebulae are extremely large and have had recent star formation. There are three main types of H II Nebulae; Diffuse, Bright, and Reflection. There are three main types of H II Nebulae; Diffuse, Bright, and Reflection. The Orion Nebula is a H II Nebula. The Orion Nebula is a H II Nebula.

Planetary Nebulae Planetary Nebulae have a large disk of glowing ionized gas. Planetary Nebulae have a large disk of glowing ionized gas. They are called Planetary because of their planet like shape seen from small telescopes. They are called Planetary because of their planet like shape seen from small telescopes. The Cats Eye Nebula is a Planetary Nebula The Cats Eye Nebula is a Planetary Nebula

Supernova Remnant Nebulae After a giant star ends it’s life cycle it will detonate in a supernova, ejecting gas and material into space. A supernova remnant nebula shows us the tremendous power of this effect. After a giant star ends it’s life cycle it will detonate in a supernova, ejecting gas and material into space.
