Examples of star-forming regions are the Orion Nebula, the Rosette Nebula and the Omega Nebula. Feedback from star-formation, in the form of supernova explosions of massive stars, stellar winds or ultraviolet radiation from massive stars, or outflows from low-mass stars may disrupt the cloud, destroying the nebula after several million years.
A type of naturally occurring physical entity, association, or structure that exists within the observable universe but is a more complex, less cohesively bound structure than an astronomical body, consisting perhaps of multiple bodies or even other objects with substructures, such as a planetary system, star cluster, nebula, or galaxy. Though ...

Box Nebula NGC 6445: 1786 4.5 11.2 Sagittarius: Eye of Sauron Nebula M 1-42: 10 14 Sagittarius
Reflection nebula IRAS 10082-5647 observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. These interstellar clouds possess a velocity higher than can be explained by the rotation of the Milky Way. [5] By definition, these clouds must have a v lsr greater than 90 km s −1, where v lsr is the local standard rest velocity.

The nebula originated from a binary star system with the designation HD 281679 from the Henry Draper Catalogue. [10] The bright, visible component is a giant star on the horizontal branch with a stellar classification of A0III, while the nebula-generating companion is now a hot, sub-luminous O-type star. [6]
NGC 7129 is a reflection nebula located 3,300 light years away in the constellation Cepheus. A young open cluster is responsible for illuminating the surrounding nebula. [2] A recent survey indicates the cluster contains more than 130 stars less than 1 million years old. [citation needed] NGC 7129 is located just half a degree from nearby ...
