Emission Nebula -- Part 3 to Part 6
It is a nebula that shines and emits its own light as a result of the union of electrons in protons to form hydrogen atoms. This happens when the electron approaches the proton and generates energy that appears in the form of a red light, and since this process occurs for the majority of atoms inside the nebula, it appears red.
This nebula is created by the emission of ultraviolet radiation from a very hot star on a cloud of hydrogen gas. As a result, the process of ionizing the atoms (extracting the electrons from the atoms) occurs. Free electrons can then begin in the process of union and fusion, It is the remnant of the birth of massive stars

It is also called the hydrogen plasma regions (HII), and the relativity is that it is mostly composed of hydrogen ionized plasma and the electrons are free. Hydrogen atoms in the interstellar medium are ionized by the ultraviolet radiation from one or more stars located near the nebula. Only the very hot stars of the O, B or A star rating, usually the young stars, are the ones that cause it. They have the ability to produce enough ultraviolet radiation to ionize the hydrogen, and the excess energy after hydrogen ionization turns into kinetic energy of the electrons. Eventually, during collisions, energy becomes common with other gas molecules. There is a balance in the nebula when the kinetic energy temperature is between 7,000 kelvin and 20,000 kelvin.
Their mass typically ranges from 100 to 10,000 solar masses, and can spread in less than one light year to several hundred light years. That is why their densities vary widely, ranging from millions of atoms per cubic centimeter to only a few atoms per cubic centimeter depending on the pressure of the nebula. The density is usually about 1,000 atoms per cubic centimeter, with an average temperature of about 10,000 Kelvin.
The color of the nebula depends on its chemical composition and its degree of ionization. The most common is red. This is due to the spread of hydrogen between the stars. Its energy is relatively low, but if more energy and other elements are available, the nebula may appear in other colors such as green and blue. Most of this type is composed of 90% hydrogen, the rest of helium, oxygen, nitrogen and other elements.
The most common nebula is where a cloud of interstellar gas is found, dominated by neutral hydrogen atoms, and these atoms come from one or more stars close to O or B. These very warm and bright stars emit large amounts of energy-rich UV rays, Photons by separating neutral hydrogen atoms into the hydrogen nucleus from their electrons and electrons become free. The neutral hydrogen atom returns to its lowest state of energy, emitting photons at optical wavelengths corresponding to the red wavelength of the visible spectrum, which gives the nebula a distinctive red color
The other common type of radiation nebula is the planetary nebula. As they include a white dwarf in the center surrounded by clouds of gas as a result of the development of the original star to the stage of the white dwarf. In this case, the evaporated gas is not necessarily neutral hydrogen, but it can contain large amounts of helium (HeII) and thus the nebula appears in blue, or oxygenated (OIII) and then the nebula is green. Since the energy needed to ionize helium far more than hydrogen, the blue regions of planetary nebula are hot zones and point to higher excitation gas areas
