The Ring Nebula is about 2,000 light-years from Earth and measures roughly 1 light-year across. Located in the constellation Lyra, the nebula is a popular target for amateur astronomers. Previous observations by several telescopes had detected the gaseous material in the ring's central region. But the new view by Hubble's sharp-eyed Wide Field Camera 3 shows the nebula's structure in more detail.
The Horsehead Nebula, one of the most famous dark nebulae, is located in the constellation Orion. 1  Emission nebulae are huge bright gas clouds with irregular shapes and dimensions that span many light years across. Emission nebulae are where stars are born. When stars begin to shine, they heat up the remaining gas around them and that gas starts to shine as well. One of the most famous emission nebula is M42, which is located in the constellation Orion.
