The mass of the nebula is estimated at about 0.6 solar masses, while the progenitor star was likely about 2.3 times the mass of the Sun. [4] NGC 2818 presents a complex morphology, and overall has bipolar structure, making it a bipolar nebula. The two lobes are somewhat broken and irregular.
NGC 6357 is a diffuse nebula near NGC 6334 in the constellation Scorpius.The nebula contains many proto-stars shielded by dark discs of gas, and young stars wrapped in expanding "cocoons" or expanding gases surrounding these small stars.
Lyman alpha nebulae around quasars can have sizes between 15 kpc and 460 kpc. [1] Especially large Enormous Lyα nebula (ELAN) can have large sizes of ≳100 kpc. [2] Farina et al. 2019 table 5 has an extensive compilation of Lyman alpha nebulae around quasars. [1] For now this list contains only the largest ELANs, with sizes larger than 300 kpc.
Astrophotography of the NGC6188 nebula in narrowband technique and Hubble palette (SHO). NGC 6188 is a star forming nebula, and is sculpted by the massive, young stars that have recently formed there – some are only a few million years old. This spark of formation was probably caused when the last batch of stars went supernova.
NGC 3603 is a nebula situated in the Carina–Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way around 20,000 light-years away from the Solar System. It is a massive H II region containing a very compact open cluster (probably a super star cluster ) HD 97950 .
The central star of the planetary nebula has a spectral type of [WC4], similar to that of a carbon-rich Wolf–Rayet star. [6] It is a pulsating star, meaning that its brightness varies regularly and periodically. In the case of NGC 1501's progenitor star, this is incredibly fast, with the star's brightness changing significantly in just half ...
The overall nebula with smaller hole shown in context. NGC 1999, also known as The Cosmic Keyhole, [1] [2] is a dust-filled bright nebula with a vast hole of empty space represented by a black patch of sky, as can be seen in the photograph. It is a reflection nebula, and shines from the light of the variable star V380 Orionis.
This nebula is in the western part [4] of the Perseus molecular cloud and is a young region of very active star formation, [6] being one of the best-studied objects of its type. [4] It contains a fairly typical hierarchy of star clusters that are still embedded in the molecular cloud in which they formed, [ 7 ] which are split into two main sub ...
