Diffuse nebulae can be divided into emission nebulae, reflection nebulae and dark nebulae. Visible light nebulae may be divided into emission nebulae, which emit spectral line radiation from excited or ionized gas (mostly ionized hydrogen ); [ 25 ] they are often called H II regions , H II referring to ionized hydrogen), and reflection nebulae ...
The Ring Nebula is located in the lower right of the image Gum Nebula: 809–950 ly (248–291 pc) [32] [33] Emission nebula: Extends about 36° of the sky Bubble Nebula (NGC 6822) 758 ly (232 pc) [34] [35] [36] H II region: The Bubble Nebula is located in the upper left of the image NGC 6188: 600 ly (180 pc) [37] Emission nebula: NGC 592
NGC 6326, a planetary nebula with glowing wisps of outpouring gas that are lit up by a binary [3] central star. A planetary nebula is a type of emission nebula consisting of an expanding, glowing shell of ionized gas ejected from red giant stars late in their lives. [4] The term "planetary nebula" is a misnomer because they are unrelated to ...
This is a list of diffuse nebulae. Most nebulae are diffuse , meaning that they do not have well-defined boundaries. Types of diffuse nebulae include emission nebulae and reflection nebulae .
The following articles contain lists of nebulae: List of dark nebulae; List of diffuse nebulae; List of largest nebulae; List of planetary nebulae; List of protoplanetary nebulae; List of supernova remnants
IC 11, Sh2-184, [3] Sharpless 184, [1] LBN 616, LBN 123.17-06.28, Pacman Nebula See also: Lists of nebulae NGC 281 , IC 11 or Sh2-184 is a bright emission nebula and part of an H II region in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia and is part of the Milky Way 's Perseus Spiral Arm .
The expansion rate of different portions of the nebula varies from 10 km/s to at least 30 km/s, leading to age estimates of 78,500 - 236,000 years. The nebula has been studied at radio and x-ray wavelengths, but it is still unclear whether it was produced at the class O main sequence stage of development, as a red supergiant , luminous blue ...
