In 1923, following the Great Debate, it became clear that many "nebulae" were in fact galaxies far from the Milky Way. Slipher and Edwin Hubble continued to collect the spectra from many different nebulae, finding 29 that showed emission spectra and 33 that had the continuous spectra of star light. [18]
NGC 6326, a planetary nebula with glowing wisps of outpouring gas that are lit up by a binary [3] central star. A planetary nebula is a type of emission nebula consisting of an expanding, glowing shell of ionized gas ejected from red giant stars late in their lives. [4] The term "planetary nebula" is a misnomer because they are unrelated to ...
2020 – After a 20-year-long survey, astrophysicists of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey publish the largest, most detailed 3D map of the universe so far, fill a gap of 11 billion years in its expansion history, and provide data which supports the theory of a flat geometry of the universe and confirms that different regions seem to be expanding at ...
In this map of the Observable Universe, objects appear enlarged to show their shape. From left to right celestial bodies are arranged according to their proximity to the Earth. This horizontal (distance to Earth) scale is logarithmic.
Nebulae become visible if the gas glows, or if the cloud reflects starlight or obscures light from more distant objects. The catalogues that it may refer to: Catalogue des nébuleuses et des amas d'étoiles (Messier "M" catalogue) first published 1771; Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (William Herschel 'CN'/"H" catalogue) first ...
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 .
