The 15 pages that link to Emission nebula, each with the reason it gives.

• Planetary nebulaNarrower topic: Planetary nebulae are a distinctive stellar-evolution class within this broader kind of glowing cloud.

• Orion NebulaNarrower topic: The Orion Nebula is a prominent example of this kind of luminous cloud.

• NebulaBroader topic: This common nebula type shines after nearby energetic stars ionize its gas.

• Dark nebulaCompared with: Unlike a dark nebula, an emission nebula shines against the surrounding sky.

• Horsehead NebulaNarrower topic: IC 434 belongs to this class of glowing nebulae.

• Hydrogen-alphaRelated: Hydrogen-alpha emission outlines ionized hydrogen in many nebulae.

• Ring NebulaNarrower topic: The Ring Nebula's visible glow comes from emission by excited atoms and ions.

• Cat's Eye NebulaNarrower topic: The Cat's Eye's visible glow comes from emission by energized atoms in its gas.

• Reflection nebulaCompared with: Unlike an emission nebula, a reflection nebula mainly redirects existing starlight.

• Lagoon NebulaNarrower topic: The Lagoon Nebula is a prominent example of this glowing nebula type.

• Rosette NebulaNarrower topic: The Rosette’s visible glow comes chiefly from ionized gas emitting spectral lines.

• William HugginsBroader topic: Its bright lines showed Huggins that some nebulae were gaseous rather than star clusters.

• Dumbbell NebulaNarrower topic: Its glowing gas makes Messier 27 a prominent example of this broader nebular category.

• Omega NebulaNarrower topic: Its characteristic visible glow places the Omega Nebula in this nebular class.

• Trifid NebulaNarrower topic: The Trifid’s red glow comes from ionized hydrogen in its emission-nebula region.
