A nebula is simply a large cloud of interstellar gas, dust and plasma. Often seen in the dark night sky as beautiful bright bursts or color, nebulae are created by both the formation and destruction of stars.Carina nebula- 50-light-year-wide view of the central region of the Carina Nebula where a maelstrom of a star's birth and death is taking place.
Orion nebula- a cavern of roiling dust and gas where more than 3,000 stars are forming.
Swan nebula- a bubbly ocean of glowing hydrogen gas and small amounts of other elements such as oxygen and sulfur within the Omega or Swan Nebula.
Boomerang nebula- which is a reflecting cloud of dust and gas with two nearly symmetric lobes of matter that are being ejected from a central star.
Helix nebula- a cosmic starlet notable for its vivid colors and eerie resemblance to a giant eye.
Eskimo nebula- glowing remains of a dying, sun-like star, it resembles a face surrounded by a fur parka.
Eagle nebula- a tall, dense tower of gas.
Crab nebula- A six-light-year-wide expanding remnant of a star's supernova explosion
