OCR: DARK NEBULA .............................................. A DARK NEBULA is a cloud of gas and dust particles in space that blocks light from celestial objects behind it and emits no light itself, so that the nebula appears to an observer on the Earth as a dark patch in the sky. Stars are created inside dark nebulas, which begin to glow when the stars start shining.
