A nebula (the Latin word for cloud) is a cloud of gas and dust in space and many can be found in our galaxy as well as in galaxies across the universe. Because nebulas are involved in the birth and death of stars, these regions of space are important to astronomers seeking to understa...
The image shows clouds of dust and gas located near theTarantula Nebula, a place also renowned for its beauty. It is part of a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way called the Large Magellanic Cloud, located 160,000 light-years away and a hotbed of star formation. You can see the full imag...
(Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, D. Padgett (GSFC), T. Megeath (University of Toledo), and B. Reipurth (University of Hawaii)) A powerful lightsaber slices through the dark clouds of dust and gas that surround it. It's not a scene from the new "Star Wars" movie but an image ...
Giant molecular clouds are large clouds of gas and dust in space that are typically surrounded by ionized regions. They have the potential to emit nuclear gamma-ray lines and positron production due to the presence of cosmic-rays. These clouds are of interest for future observations, especially ...
These clouds of dust and gas play host to some of themost massive and luminous starsin our galaxy, which make them scintillating test beds for studying the interactions between these young stars and their parent molecular clouds. The new observations were made with the Atacama Pathfinder Experimen...
Collapsing clouds refer to the process where a cloud of gas and dust undergoes gravitational collapse, leading to the formation of dense cores that eventually give rise to stars or stellar systems. AI generated definition based on: Treatise on Geochemistry, 2007 ...

Detailed measurements have been made of the H, OH and H2CO lines formed in the L1534 dense dust cloud; some H and H2CO observations have been made of the dust cloud lying behind the Orion cluster. These indicate a similar distribution of the 3 species throughout the dust clouds. Studies...
We see the brightest parts of this complex, including the Orion Nebula and the nebulosity surrounding and backlighting the famous dark nebula called the Horsehead, because bright stars energize those parts of the cloud. But large amounts of gas, as well as the dust that makes up dark nebulae...
dustextinctionISM: cloudsISM: moleculesISM: structureThe spatial variations of the gas-to-dust ratio (GDR) provide constraints on the chemical evolution and lifecycle of dust in galaxies. We examine the relation between dust and gas at 10-50 pc resolution in the Large and Small Magellanic ...
