Explanation: 

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dark Nebula-A dark nebula is a cloud of dust that blocks the light from objects behind it.

Dark nebulae are usually seen together with emission and reflection nebulae.

Detailed explanation-3: -A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust and other ionized gases resulting from the explosion of a star. Nebulae are clouds made up mainly of hydrogen gas and dust particles.
