As a Sci-Fi element, nebula have always been interesting to me. But Sci-Fi is not always reliable for factual representation :-) It's mind boggling how big these things are... Thanks for the photos and the factual information, Mary!

My son just had to work on a constellation project. He invented his own based on Star Wars Clone Wars. We had so much fun. He made a Zillo Beast. We haven't studied Nebulas yet.
