The type of nebulae formed by the light from nearby stars is known as an emission nebula. In these regions, the intense ultraviolet radiation from hot, young stars ionizes the surrounding gas, causing it to emit visible light. This process creates bright, colorful regions in space, often associated with star formation. Examples of emission nebulae include the Orion Nebula and the Lagoon Nebula.
