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.

I like the Orion nebula. The Hubble shot of it makes for a beautiful desktop background.

 

[Fluffy]

Definitely the veil... that is so cool!

 

[Ceridwen018]

The Rosette is gorgeous! That's one of my favorite colors--it's simply mesmerizing!

I hear there is an awsome bar in Orions belt.

check out SETI@ home

I had so many hours on/ for SETI, but then my computer decided to croak. That was a sad moment.

I'm biased, but Orion has always been a favorite. That's one of the only constellations I know by sight, and that's really only because I have three freckles that look exactly like his belt.

Sorry to hear about the computer.My friend who set up my computer told me about theSETI site and hooked me up right then.Contact is one of my all time favorite movies as it spoke to my hopes and beliefs.

the cats eye is cool too.I am a cat lover(except when he jumps on my keyboard!!).:tsk:
