About this ebook
In our galaxy, there are stars and solar systems. There are comets, asteroids and a whole lot of solid material. There is also a lot of space between star systems. We call this space between star systems the Interstellar Medium. In this area, there are great clouds of gas and dust. They can range in size from a few light years to many thousands of light years across. Some of them glow. Some are so dark that we cannot see through them.
These massive clouds of gas and dust are called nebulas.

What is the difference between a dark nebula and a light nebula?
Is there a nebula in the Milky Way galaxy?
