Detailed explanation-1: -A nebula is a giant cloud of dust and gas in space. Some nebulae (more than one nebula) come from the gas and dust thrown out by the explosion of a dying star, such as a supernova. Other nebulae are regions where new stars are beginning to form. For this reason, some nebulae are called “star nurseries."
Detailed explanation-2: -STAR BIRTHS are started when the interstellar matter in gas clouds, such as the Eagle Nebula shown here, compresses and fuses. Irregularities in the density of the gas causes a net gravitational force that pulls the gas molecules closer together.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nebulae are interstellar clouds made up of tiny particles often illuminated by starlight. Their unique shapes, varied as earthly clouds, are created by the collapse of matter into a new star, or the explosion of a star becoming a supernova.
