8 mesmerising images of Nebula captured by NASA

Nebulae come in different types, such as emission, reflection, and dark nebulae. One of the most well-known and visible examples is the Orion Nebula.

NASA uses cutting-edge telescopes and instruments to study the composition and structure of nebulae.

Studying nebulae allows scientists to uncover the processes that shape galaxies.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured stunning images of numerous nebulae, located both within the Milky Way galaxy and beyond.

Nebulae are commonly recognized for their stunning and complex patterns of gas and dust.

Nebulae are vast clouds of dust and gas drifting through space, often acting as nurseries for new star formation.

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected X-ray emissions from hot gas within nebulae.

Nebulae play a crucial role in the life cycle of stars, and NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has provided valuable insights into their infrared emissions.
