The charming head nebula .... part 2 / 9
Looking at the nebula is really amazing and very enjoyable, and we can only be dazzled and admired.
The origin of the word nebula is the Latin word for cloud. The nebula is not just a huge cloud of dust, hydrogen gaseous, helium and plasma. It is also often considered an incubator of stars, the place where the stars were born. Between distant galaxies and these massive clouds
For a time scientists and astronomers were aware that outer space was not entirely empty
In fact, it is composed of gas and dust particles known as the Interstellar Medium (ISM), roughly 99 percent of the components of this medium are gas, 75 percent of its mass is hydrogen and the other 25 are helium
Origination
The nebula is formed when parts of the astral medium undergo a gravitational collapse, where mutual attractions cause matter to be grouped together into denser regions
From here, stars can consist of the center of the material's collapse, where its UV radiation causes the surrounding gases to be visible at optical wavelengths
Most of the nebulae are very large, measuring up to hundreds of light years in the diameter, a unit of longitudinal measurement of superpowers
The charming head nebula
As the name implies, this reflection of the nebula is linked to the star Rigel (the seventh brightest star in the sky and the brightest in the constellation of Gemini). This nebula is a very large, irregular cloud of dust and gas that appears suspiciously like a chimera in a fictional story.
Officially known as IC 2118 in Constellation (Tower) Gemini.
The charming head nebula originally shines from reflected light from the star.
The color of this mist is very blue not only because of the blue color of its star, but also because the dust grains reflect the blue light more efficiently than the red.
The same physical process that makes the sky color of the earth blue
Hi @mars9 my friend, I really enjoyed reading this post, just by complete coincidence I choose to also post on nebula's today for the color challenge:)
Such beauty when it comes to space and all its wonders. The Horse Head Nebula is awesome looking.
Hey a am trying to follow every account on steemit!! :) I don't know how long its gonna take.. But am not giving up! I personally think its a very cool and unique experiment. Am currently following 13800+- people but this needs to go way up! If you like this experiment feel fre to follow me. Let me hear your thoughts about my project and have wonderful day :)
