Astronomy - Nebula - English Roundhand

"Nebulas are cosmic clouds of gas and dust. Some nebula are undefined and cloud-like as the word suggests. Others, such as this example, exhibit beautiful, complex patterns. Nebula are categorized into 4 types: H II Regions, Planetary Nebulae, Supernova Remnants & Dark nebulae. In this piece is the Cat's Eye Nebula, cataloged as NGC 6543, a planetary nebula, so called because before modern powerful telescopes they were thought to look like blurry planets.

The flourishing on this piece was to create a sort of cloud to cradle the word."
