The Carina Nebula is an example of a diffuse nebula Most nebulae can be described as diffuse nebulae, which means that they are extended and contain no well-defined boundaries. [ 24 ] Diffuse nebulae can be divided into emission nebulae , reflection nebulae and dark nebulae .
An ionized nebula powered by young, massive O-type stars. Ultraviolet photons from these hot stars ionize gas in the surrounding environment, and the nebular gas shines brightly in spectral lines of hydrogen and other elements. Because O-type stars have relatively short lifetimes (typically a few million years), the presence of an H II region ...
A Nebula is a cloud of dust and gas inside a galaxy. 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
The Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars was first published in 1786 by William Herschel in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. [1] In 1789, he added another 1,000 entries, [2] and finally another 500 in 1802, [3] bringing the total to 2,500 entries.

A protostar is a very young star that is still gathering mass from its parent molecular cloud.It is the earliest phase in the process of stellar evolution. [1] For a low-mass star (i.e. that of the Sun or lower), it lasts about 500,000 years. [2]
