Hypothesis:
Introduction:
Nebulae are a part of the galaxies, which harbor theories, different shapes and colors
depending on their chemical composition and the characteristics that have alternative
to the type of nebula, that is, they are creators of stars. even if they are created from
them. Astronomical concept that gives rise to dust condensations.
Arguments:
the nebula is part of a large concentration of dust usually from explosions thanks to
stars or supernovae and in some others these nebulae are called "nurseries of stars"
because they are areas where new stars are created, are composed mainly of hydrogen
and helium, although these gasses are usually dispersed but by gravity begin to unite,
as their mass increases its gravitational force does the same knowing that its mass is
directly proportional to its gravity. This causes the nebula to collide to form a new star
taking into account that those nebulae that form stars are different from those that are
born directly from one of these nebulae.
There are several types of nebulae: reflection nebula, emission nebula, absorption
nebula and planetary nebula, each with its own function and specific characteristics.
The emission nebula is characterized as the most common and have their own flash
thanks to the alteration of the hydrogen atoms that receive the ultraviolet radiation of
the stars and that keep young stars in it, an example could be the Orion nebula or the
Eagle nebula. As for the absorption nebulae are those that do not emit light and have
their hidden stars, they can also be known as dark nebulae, examples could be the
horsehead nebula because its shape is very similar, or the carbon sack in the southern
cross, this nebula to be heated by the gravity collision later would become an
emission nebula. The reflection nebulae are those that do not emit radiation like
emission nebulae, but reflect light from nearby stars and, thanks to scattering,
usually have a bluish color, although the source of illumination may also be
within the cloud itself. Finally, planetary nebulae are those that emit light from
the stars they already contain. In their final evolutionary stages they eject their
outer layers into space. When this happens they leave a white dwarf star and
these are usually rings.one of the best known is the helix nebula or better known
as "the eye of god".
Conclusion:
