Types of Nebulae

(http://nineplanets.org/twn/types.html)

Types of Nebulae
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 interstellar dust/gas clouds. More strictly speaking, the word "nebula" should be reserved for gas and dust clouds and not for groups of stars.

The Cat's eye is very cool, but I think I'm going to have to go with the Keyhole. There's just something about it!

I picked the Cat's Eye. It's neat.

I love all of them. I took and Independent Study in Science class on Astronomy and they are all so beautiful and they all have something about them that I like!

I have to say I've always loved the horse head... the resemblance is uncanny.
