At the other end of a star’s life, we encounter a different type of emission nebula. Stars like the sun end their lives as highly compact white dwarfs, but as they shrink down into this phase they release clouds of gas which form a so-called "planetary nebula". This is a rather mis...
A planetary nebula is a phenomenon that occurs when a small to medium-sized star approaches the end of its life cycle. While very large stars end their lives in an explosion of light called asupernova, smaller stars fade out more gradually as gases and radiation exit their core. The first...
The Eagle Nebula, or Messier 16, is an area of active star formation about 5,700 light-years from Earth and is home to the iconic Pillars of Creation.
The type of star that creates a planetary nebula is a low-to-medium-mass star, like our sun, that is destined to turn into a red giant and then a white dwarf as it completes its life cycle. Despite the name, a planetary nebula has nothing to do with planets. It was given that ...
By re-creating conditions in the solar nebula, the swirl of gas that coalesced to form our star, the planets and the remnant rocky debris that circles the Sun as asteroids, the researchers demonstrated that a simple chemical reaction, governed by known physical principles, can generate silicate ...

‘cloud,’is in fact an interstellar cloud of dust and gas.Like the clouds in the sky, nebulae come in interesting shapes like flowers, insects, animals or people.This is how many of them get their names.There are four main types of nebulae.First, there are star-forming regions, also ...

“science” inStar Trekis pure set-decoration, and there is room to wonder just how essential “science”—i.e., consumer technology—is to “science fiction.” It’s also interesting to note thatStar Trekhas always been perceived as somehow different from the standard pulp-like TV adventure...
