KIDS TRIVIA

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: -Dark nebulae – or absorption nebulae – are clouds of gas and dust in space that are dense enough to obscure and block light from background stars. These vast clouds are mostly composed of molecular hydrogen. They’re often locations where material is coalescing to form new stars.

Detailed explanation-3: -All stars start in a large cloud of dust and gas called a nebula. Gravity can pull some of the gas and dust in a nebula together, forming a proto-star. A star is born when the gas and dust from a nebula become so hot and dense that hydrogen atoms are smashed together to form helium.
