A typical galaxy is 100,000 light-years in diameter. They consist primarily of very old stars. Globular clusters are not concentrated in the plane of the galaxy but rather are randomly distributed throughout the halo. There are several hundred globular clusters associated with our galaxy. A typical globular cluster is a few hundred light-years across.
Emission nebulae are usually the sites of recent and ongoing star formation.
Reflection nebulae are also usually sites of star formation. They are usually blue because the scattering is more efficient for blue light. Reflection nebulae and emission nebulae are often seen together and are sometimes both referred to as diffuse nebulae. Dark nebulae are clouds of dust which are simply blocking the light from whatever is behind. Dark nebulae are also often seen in conjunction with reflection and emission nebulae.
