Emission nebula
Emission nebula, artwork. Emission nebulae are vast clouds of gas and dust that emit light due to ionisation of the hydrogen gas they contain by radiation from hot young stars within them. Stars form when gas contracts under mutual gravitational attraction. As the gas gets denser, its temperature rises. When the gas is extremely hot and dense, nuclear reactions begin, and a star is born

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Emission Nebula" takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the vastness of space. The image showcases an awe-inspiring emission nebula, a celestial phenomenon that consists of immense clouds of gas and dust. These nebulae emit light as a result of the ionization process caused by radiation from hot young stars nestled within them. The artwork beautifully captures the intricate details and vibrant colors present in this cosmic spectacle. It serves as a reminder of the remarkable processes occurring in our universe, where stars are born from contracting gases under mutual gravitational attraction. As these gases become denser and hotter, nuclear reactions ignite, giving birth to new stars. The illustration's depiction highlights the evolution and transformative nature of these stellar nurseries. The glowing hydrogen gas illuminates the surrounding dust particles, creating an ethereal ambiance that sparks curiosity about our place in the cosmos. Through this stunning portrayal, we are invited to contemplate the wonders of astronomy and cosmology while marveling at the sheer beauty found within these celestial clouds. This print is not only visually striking but also serves as a testament to humanity's ongoing exploration and understanding of our vast universe.
