Since the average person isnât making less than $20,000 per year (which they would be if $3,150 were two monthsâ salary), itâs clear that grandmaâs rule no longer holds. Weâre not saying that you shouldnât buy an engagement ring, but we also donât think itâs wrong to play with conventions every once in a while.
The pinkish-red color of nebulae, such as M42 in Orion or the Lagoon Nebula in Sagittarius, is really a combination of four different bright spectral lines of hydrogen gas. A hydrogen atom has a single proton at its center and a single electron in its outer region.
Some nebulae create their own light, which sometimes has a fluorescent appearance, while others only reflect the light from nearby stars. Nebulae are often seen around dying stars, and it's thought they may be a natural process that occurs when a star is nearing the end of its life. Nebulae resemble thin clouds that have less atoms per cubic inch than a cloud of smoke.
