The following articles contain lists of nebulae: List of dark nebulae; List of diffuse nebulae; List of planetary nebulae; List of protoplanetary nebulae;
Below is a list of the largest known nebulae so far discovered, ordered by actual diameter. This list is prone to change because of inconsistencies between studies, the great distances of nebulae from our stellar neighborhood, and the constant refinement of technology and engineering .

JnEr — Jones-Emberson (planetary nebulae) (for example: Jones-Emberson 1 in Lynx, also known as the Headphone nebula) Jo — Jones (double stars) Johansson — (open star clusters) (for example: Johansson 1 at 15:46:20 / -52:22:54 in Norma )
The Sharpless catalog is a list of 313 H II regions (emission nebulae) intended to be comprehensive north of declination −27°. (It does include some nebulae south of that declination as well.) (It does include some nebulae south of that declination as well.)
Caldwell advocates, however, see the catalog as a useful list of some of the brightest and best known non-Messier deep-sky objects. Thus, advocates dismiss any "controversy" as being fabricated by older amateurs simply not able or willing to memorize the new designations despite every telescope database using the Caldwell IDs as the primary ...
This is a list of diffuse nebulae. Most nebulae are diffuse , meaning that they do not have well-defined boundaries. Types of diffuse nebulae include emission nebulae and reflection nebulae .
