reflection nebula

Reflection nebulae may also be the site of star formation.

It is a reflection nebula, caused by dust reflecting the blue light of the hot, young stars.

Edwin Hubble distinguished between the emission and reflection nebulae in 1922.

NGC 1333 is a reflection nebula and the location of star formation.

The smaller reflection nebula component requires a larger instrument to be seen, along with the use of averted vision.

Illumination of a nearby bright reflection nebula (in order to guarantee physical link with star formation region).

It produces a bright visual reflection nebula and an ultraviolet-excited photodissociation region.

IC 447 is a reflection nebula in the constellation Monoceros.

Some 500 reflection nebulae are known.

In visible light these nebulae may be further divided into emission and reflection nebulae.

It is a reflection nebula, and shines from the light of the variable star V380 Orionis.

A Variable nebula is a reflection nebula that gets brighter and darker because of changes in its star.

Reflection nebulae reflect light from nearby stars.

Among the nicest of the reflection nebulae are those surrounding the stars of the Pleiades.

Reflection nebula in the constellation Orion, cataloged as M78 (see graphic).

Reflection nebulae themselves do not emit significant amounts of visible light, but are near stars and reflect light from them.

Variable nebulae are reflection nebulae that change in brightness because of changes in their star.

A blue reflection nebula can also be seen in the same area of the sky as the Trifid Nebula.

The reflection nebula NGC 2023 is in the constellation Orion.

Like its constellation neighbor and also hypergiant star IRC+10420, it is surrounded by an extended reflection nebula.

A PPN emits strongly in infrared radiation, and is a kind of reflection nebula.

Interstellar dust is found between the stars, and high concentrations produce diffuse nebulae and reflection nebulae.

Nu Scorpii is the star which causes the reflection nebula cataloged as IC 4592.

The giant star Antares, which is very red (spectral class M1), is surrounded by a large, red reflection nebula.

The PPN is energized by the central star, causing it to emit strong infrared radiation and become a reflection nebula.
