Types of Nebulae | Galaxies, Globular Open Clusters Originally, the word “nebula” referred to almost any extended astronomical object (other than planets and comets) The etymological root of “nebula” means “cloud” As is usual in astronomy, the old terminology survives in modern usage in sometimes confusing ways We sometimes use the word “nebula” to refer to galaxies, various types of star clusters and various kinds of
Orion Constellation | Facts, Information, History Definition This nebula can be found a third of a degree from the Horsehead Nebula NGC 2023 is around 1,467 light-years away from Earth Monkey Head Nebula The Monkey Head Nebula, designated as NGC 2174, is an emission nebula classified as an H II region It is associated with the open cluster NGC 2175, also located in Orion
Trifid Nebula - The Nine Planets The Trifid Nebula gets its name from the three dark lanes the divide it The red part is an emission nebula powered by a bright triple star CC 24537; the fainter blue part is a reflection nebula surrounding a hot O-type star The Trifid Nebula is just 1 1 2 degrees from the much larger Lagoon Nebula AAT html (David Malin) AAT html (David Malin

Cats Eye Nebula - The Nine Planets Photo: Hubble Space Telescope (26k jpg) NGC 6543 RA 17:59; Dec 66:38 (Draco) Distance: 3000 ly Type: planetary nebula This is one of the most complex of the planetary nebulae The HST images seem to indicate that the central star is actually a binary system and that the nebula we see today is actually the result of at least two separate events See the NASA press release for more info
Crab Nebula - The Nine Planets Distance: 6000 ly In 1758, Charles Messier found this nebula while hunting for comets When he noticed that, unlike a comet, it didn’t move, he decided to create his now famous catalog (from his point of view a catalog of things that shouldn’t be mistaken for comets) The supernova explosion that created the Crab was seen on about July 4
Omega Nebula - The Nine Planets aka the Swan Nebula, the Horseshoe Nebula, the Checkmark Nebula, the Lobster Nebula The Omega Nebula is brighter than its neighbor the Eagle Nebula and consists almost entirely of gas with few stars (as yet)
