skymama 37 #2 December 8, 2003 I clicked on it just to find out what a Nebula was! Imagine my disappointment when I found out it was science related.

Free fallin' be science related too! [nerd voice] an object in freefall will accelerate at 9.81meters per second per second or 32.2 feet per second per second... [\nerd voice] Just smile, nod and say "ooooooh, what a nice pic-a-ture." Like I did lol. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! I took Astronomy a while back and remember learning all about Nebulae, but I can't remember much about what causes them. Quade mentioned a star blowing up, that sounds about right but can someone refresh my memory? I think I remember there being like 3 types or something. I remember seeing a horseshoe nebula ... am I on the right track here or completely pulling this stuff out of my ass?Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires."
