   What is a star nursery in a Nebula?

   • For this reason, some nebulae are called "star nurseries." These towers of cosmic dust and gas make up part of the Eagle Nebula. These so-called Pillars of Creation are part of an active star-forming region within the nebula. Credits: NASA, ESA and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA) How do stars form in a nebula?

   What is a nebula made of?

   • These fantastical shapes, some of the universe’s most visually stunning constructions, are nebulae, clouds of gas and dust that can be the birthplace of stars, the scene of their demise – and sometimes both. Nebulae are made up of gas – primarily hydrogen and helium – and fine cosmic dust.

   What does a Nebula look like?

   • A giant cloud of dust that blocks light from anything beyond it, looking like a "hole in the sky". Nebula play a key role in the life cycle of stars, both at their birth and death. Stars are born in dense clumps of gas, dust, and other material inside diffuse emission nebulae, also frequently referred to as "stellar nurseries".

   How do nebulae form stars?

   • Nebulae are often star-forming regions, such as in the "Pillars of Creation" in the Eagle Nebula. In these regions, the formations of gas, dust, and other materials "clump" together to form denser regions, which attract further matter and eventually become dense enough to form stars.

   A nebula ( Latin for 'cloud, fog'; [1] pl.: nebulae, nebulæ, or nebulas [2] [3] [4] [5]) is a distinct luminescent part of interstellar medium, which can consist of ionized, neutral, or molecular hydrogen and also cosmic dust. Nebulae are often star-forming regions, such as in the "Pillars of Creation" in the Eagle Nebula.
