  關於与「 星云 」名称相近或相同的条目,請見「 星雲 (消歧義) 」。 鷹星雲的 創生之柱 。 三角座的發射星雲:Garren Nebula NGC 604。 播放媒体 NASA製作的蟹狀星雲短片。 星雲 (源自拉丁文的:nebulae或nebulæ,與ligature或nebulas,意思就是“雲” [1] )是塵埃、氫氣、氦氣、和其他電離氣體聚集的星際雲。原本是天文學上通用的名詞,泛指任何天文上的擴散天體,包括在銀河系之外的星系(一些過去的用法依然留存著,例如仙女座星系依然使用愛德溫·哈伯發現它是星系之前的名稱,被稱為 仙女座星雲 )。星雲通常也是恆星形成的區域,例如鷹星雲,這個星雲刻畫出NASA最著名的影像,即創生之柱。在這個區域形成的氣體、塵埃和其他材料擠在一起,聚集了巨大的質量,這吸引了更多的質量,最後大到足以形成恆星。據了解,剩餘的材料還可以形成行星和行星系的其它天體。 目录 1 歷史 2 形成 3 星雲的種類 3.1 傳統的類型 3.2 瀰漫星雲 3.3 行星狀星雲 3.3.1 原行星雲 3.4 超新星殘骸 4 著名的星雲 5 相關條目 6 參考資料 7 外部連結 歷史 存在於瑪雅的證據顯示,在望遠鏡發明之前就已經知道星雲的存在。與天空中的獵戶座有關的神話支持這一個理論:神話中提到天空周圍有著熊熊的爐火 [2] 。 大約在西元150年,托勒密在他著作的天文學大成這本書的第7卷和第8卷寫道:五顆星出現在雲中。他還注意到在大熊座和獅子座之間存在著與任何星星都沒有聯繫的雲氣 [3] 。第一次真正的提到星雲,有別於星團,是波斯天文學家阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼·蘇菲的 恆星之書 (964) [4] 。他注意到在仙女座星系位置上的一朵小雲 [5] 。他還記錄到船帆座o的星群是是一個模糊不清的恆星,還有其它的天體,像是衣架星團 [4] ,被阿拉伯和中國天文學家在西元1054年觀測到的超新星SN 1054,創造的蟹狀星雲 [6] [7] 。 不知道是甚麼原因,蘇菲沒有注意到獵戶座星雲,這個至少和仙女座星系同樣著名的夜空天體, 尼古拉斯-克勞德·佩雷斯克 ( 英语 : Nicolas-Cl
