<strong>The</strong> <strong>Astrology</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Space</strong><br />

clouds <strong>of</strong> small grains <strong>of</strong> matter, dust. Like cigarette<br />

smoke, this dust diffuses the light coming from behind<br />

them. <strong>The</strong>re is no essential difference between a<br />

bright nebula and a dark one; it all depends on<br />

whether there are any suitable stars to provide<br />

illumination.<br />

Planetary Nebulae<br />

A Planetary Nebula, in essence, appears to be a<br />

roughly spheroidal or ellipsoidal shell <strong>of</strong> gas with a<br />

nuclear star in or close to its center. <strong>The</strong>se nebulae<br />

(planetaries) received their name not due to any<br />

possible generic relationship to planets, but because<br />

early observers, while searching for planets with<br />

primitive telescopes, sometimes came across these<br />

disc-like objects and they at first glance looked like<br />

planets. <strong>The</strong> central star <strong>of</strong> a planetary is usually quite<br />

dim. It is not <strong>of</strong>ten brighter than eleventh magnitude<br />

and it is the exception that can be seen at all. <strong>The</strong><br />

body or expanded shell-like ring <strong>of</strong> gas <strong>of</strong> the nebula<br />

is also faint and tends to blend into the sky<br />
