... Stars . ... Dark Nebula: The Taurus Molecular Cloud, in the constellation of Taurus (The Bull), lies about 450 light years from Earth. This image is a composite of observations made with submillimetre wavelengths, which reveal the heat glow of the molecular cloud (shown in orange tones) and in visible light to reveal the rich background of stars. Image credit: ESO/APEX (MPIfR/ESO/OSO)/A. Hacar et al./ ... The Orion nebula is a very famous nebula and we know that it is full of stars. ...
... The spectrum of the brightest star, our Sun, shows several dark gaps perpendicular to the flow of it’s colours (figure 1). These so called spectral absorption lines where discovered in 1802 by the English scientist William Wollaston. ... Some stars as Pollux show a spectrum similar to that of our sun with strong Ca II and Fe II lines, others as Sirius or Vega show strong absorption lines of hydrogen, others, as Mira show very complicated spectra due to molecular absorption lines (see figure 5). ...

... By undertaking a spectral and photometric investi gation of the central part of the bright elliptical galaxy NGC 759, we have found an optical counterpart for the circumnuclear molecular gas ring with the radius of # 3 ## (# 1 kpc) which was earlier reported by Wiklind et al. ... 2 Fig. ... More likely, this ring may be a consequence of a tidal encounter between the elliptical galaxy NGC 759 and a large spiral galaxy which was accompanied by a substantial gas accretion. ...
