The Snowman Nebula is an emission nebula that resides in the constellation Puppis in the southern sky, about 6,000 light-years away from Earth. Emission nebulae are diffuse clouds of gas that have ...

The team determined the nebula to have an ellipsoidal shape using Submillimeter Array (SMA) radio-wavelength mapping of emission from carbon monoxide (CO) gas. The CO emission reveals cold, molecular ...

If you can see that object easily, then try for the wonder many observers consider the ultimate challenge object — the Horsehead Nebula. This dark protrusion sits in front of emission nebula IC ...

The soft light from a nebula may also come from the ambient radiation released by the nebular cloud itself. This type of cosmic cloud is known as an emission nebula. One of the most famous is the ...
