Reflection nebula - Wikipedia
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_nebula
WEBIn astronomy, reflection nebulae are clouds of interstellar dust which might reflect the light of a nearby star or stars. The energy from the nearby stars is insufficient to ionize the gas of the nebula to create an emission nebula, but is …

Reflection nebula | Interstellar dust, Interstellar clouds, Star
https://www.britannica.com/science/reflection-nebula
WEBreflection nebula, interstellar cloud that would normally be a dark nebula (or molecular cloud) but whose dust reflects the light from a nearby bright star that is not hot enough to ionize the cloud’s hydrogen.

Reflection Nebula - NASA
https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/reflection-nebula/
WEBMar 23, 2008 · Like fog around a street lamp, a reflection nebula shines only because the light from an embedded source illuminates its dust; the nebula does not emit any visible light of its own. The nebula is famous in astronomical history because the first Herbig-Haro object was discovered immediately adjacent to it (it lies just outside the new Hubble image).

What is a reflection nebula? | Cool Cosmos
https://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/ask/226-What-is-a-reflection-nebula-
WEBA reflection nebula is a cloud of gas and dust which does not create its own light, but instead shines by reflecting the light from nearby stars. The brightest reflection nebulae are places where new stars are being formed. Here the gas and dust is thick and shines by the light of new, bright stars.

WEBReflection Nebula. A reflection nebula is created when light from a star is scattered or reflected off a neighbouring dust cloud. The scattered light is slightly polarised and has a spectrum similar to that of the illuminating star, only bluer.

WEBThe nebula, cataloged as NGC 1999, is a reflection nebula , which shines by reflecting light from a nearby star. Unlike emission nebulae, whose reddish glow comes from excited atoms of gas, reflection nebulae have a bluish cast as their interstellar dust grains preferentially reflect blue starlight.
