The word nebula has its origin in Latin. The Latin word nebula was adapted by Middle English as nebule which means cloud or mist. A nebula is a mass of dust and gas. It could also consist of only dust of gas. But, this diffuse mass is seen as a bright and luminous areas or patches of darkness. The mass differs in its absorption or reflection of the incident radiation. Thus, it results in the darkness and luminosity of a nebula. A galaxy could also be termed as a 'nebula'.
