There is often dust associated with ionized regions. Compact HII regions usually have associated dust from a molecular cloud in which the massive star is being "born". ... For such stars the dust is not produced by the star, and a variety of dust features are observed. The planetary nebulae also usually have associated dust from the previous stage of evolution where they were either carbon stars or M-type giants. ... The feature near 11.5 microns in the IC 418 spectrum may be due to SiC dust. ...

... Do you ever look at clouds in the sky and see the shapes of objects and people in them? Well, astronomers do the same thing in the night sky. This new photo shows a cloud of gas and dust in space, which is called a nebula. ... But can you see why the nebula shown above is nicknamed the Gabriela Mistral Nebula? ... Astronomers think that it looks very similar to the face of a famous poet from Chile called Gabriela Mistral. Click here to compare the nebula with a photo of the poet.) ...
