Question
question 4 1 pts if you observe a nice blue nebula behind some bright o and b stars, it is most likely a emission nebula bok nebula absorption nebula reflection nebula
Brief Explanations
- Emission nebulae emit light due to ionized gas and are often red (from hydrogen - alpha emission).
- Bok nebulae are dark, dense clouds of dust and gas that block background light.
- Absorption nebulae absorb light from background stars but don't have a distinct blue color in this context.
- Reflection nebulae reflect the light of nearby stars. O and B stars are hot and emit a lot of blue light. The nebula reflects this blue light, making it appear blue.
