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 .
Only 36 stars were known to be in this nebula but the Chandra telescope increased the number of known stars to 160. Lagoon Nebula: 110 ly (34 pc) [44] H II region: Veil Nebula: 100–130 ly (31–40 pc) [45] Supernova remnant: Located in the Cygnus Loop: NGC 3576: 100 ly (31 pc) [46] Emission nebula: N41: 100 ly (31 pc) [47] Emission nebula ...

This nebula was also observed by Johann Baptist Cysat in 1618. However, the first detailed study of the Orion Nebula was not performed until 1659 by Christiaan Huygens, who also believed he was the first person to discover this nebulosity. [11] In 1715, Edmond Halley published a list of six nebulae.
The name "Abell" is also commonly used as a designation for objects he compiled in a catalogue of 86 planetary nebulae in 1966. The proper designation for the galaxy clusters is ACO, as in "ACO 13", while the planetary-nebula designation is the single letter A, as in "A 39".
