Cloud of Ionized gasMost common sourceProtons

Reflection Nebula

Interstellar dustDoesn’t create lightNot glowing plasmasLight source

Dark nebula

Nonluminous nebulaDust and GasObscures lightLight source

Planetary NebulaCreated when a star blowsOuter layers of gas expand

into spaceOften the shape of a ringWilliam HerschelSpherical cloudsRound like the planets

Supernova NebulaOccurs when a high

mass star reaches the end of its life

Expanding shell of gasOriginates from ionized

gas
