Lists of nebulae

What is a nebulae 
A nebula is either where stars or are formed or a remnant of a star that went supernova. A example of a nebula that makes stars is the Orion nebula (Messieer 42) and an example of a remnant is the crab nebula (Messier 1).

 What types of nebulae are there 
There are a few types of nebulae types, a few of them are planetary nebulae which are formed when a star like our sun or slightly larger dies, a supernova remnant  is the remains of a massive star dies, a emmision nebula is a nebula that consists of ionized gas that emits light of different colours, a dark nebula is a nebula that has dense clouds that block light from behind them, a reflection nebula is a nebula that is made of dust that reflects from nearby stars and a protosteller nebula is where new stars form from collapsing clouds of gas. There are also H II regions which are ionized hydrogen gas which intesne star formation is occouring and there are also wolf-rayet nebulas that contain massive stars that have strong steller winds.
