Question Answered step-by-step Open this webpage:… Open this webpage: http://bioch.szote.u-szeged.hu/astrojan/nebulat.htm – with a long list of nebulae images – and use them to answer the questions below. 6) Finally, open image number 65b – the Lagoon Nebula (M8) and examine it. What do you think the many different colors (red, yellow, green, blue, etc.) likely represent? Actually, it turns out that the red regions correspond to excited hydrogen (and maybe nitrogen) gas while the blue regions are graphite and CO dust grains. The green region is likely to be oxygen molecules and the large yellow region is thought to be a complex combination of CO, NH3, oxygen complexes, TiO, CH3OH, and some iron-based molecules like FeSiO4. When studying the ISM, image colors (if they are not false-colored during image reduction) are a very important piece of observational information.  Biology Science Physiology PHY 150 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
