... 2003 August 11 . Elements of the Swan Nebula . ... Explanation: In the depths of the dark clouds of dust and molecular gas known as M17 , stars continue to form. Also known as the Omega Nebula and Horseshoe Nebula, the darkness of M17's molecular clouds results from background starlight being absorbed by thick filaments of carbon-based smoke-sized dust . As bright massive stars form, they produce intense and energetic light that slowly boils away the dark shroud. ... About APOD | ...

... White Dwarf Spectra . ... My conception of a white dwarf with a dusty disk. The dust must sublimate and will accrete onto the surface of the white dwarf, possibly through streamers of gas that follow the white dwarf's magnetic field lines. As in Saturn's rings, there might be streaks in the dust due to material that is darker than the surrounding dust, or perhaps caused by shadows of rocky bodies with sizes larger than the scale height of the disk. ...
