A nebula (Latin for 'cloud' or 'fog';pl. nebulae, nebulæ or nebulas is a distinct body of interstellar clouds (which can consist of cosmic dusthydrogenheliummolecular clouds; possibly as ionized gases). Originally, the term was used to describe any diffused astronomical object, including galaxies beyond the Milky Way. The Andromeda Galaxy, for instance, was once referred to as the Andromeda Nebula (and spiral galaxies in general as "spiral nebulae") before the true nature of galaxies was confirmed in the early 20th century by Vesto SlipherEdwin Hubble and others.
