H II region: A region consisting
primarily of ionized hydrogen gas.
Ordinarily, a stable hydrogen atom is
composed of one proton surrounded
by an electron, but in an H II region
the protons and electrons of the
hydrogen atoms are separated. This
separation produces the colorful light
emission from these regions.
