Nebulae appear incredibly beautiful in these scientific images, but these images don't necessarily depict them accurately. Hubble makes most of its observations in the visible light spectrum, but some of its observations are conducted in the infrared and ultraviolet ranges with the help of special photographic filters.Dec 10, 2019

Can humans see nebulas?
When looking out into the night sky with your own eyeballs, you don't see any beautiful nebulousness. Just the stars and the faint glow of the Milky Way. You might be able to see a few fuzzy bits, hint of nebulae, galaxies and star clusters.
Do we have real pictures of other galaxies?
Astronomers have just assembled one of the most comprehensive portraits yet of the Universe's evolutionary history, based on a broad spectrum of observations by the Hubble Space Telescope and other space and ground-based telescopes.
Are nebulae actually Colourful?
Most of the nebulae and galaxy photos are what we'd call false colour, yes — although it's probably much more fair to the people who make these images to call them “exaggerated colour”, or perhaps “reconstructed colour”.
Are we actually in a nebula?
This depends a lot on exactly how you define a nebulae, but we are actually in a very dense region of the interstellar medium, the local interstellar cloud. Observing it directly from Earth is very difficult, due to sunlight and the solar wind, but its magnetic field has been measured by the Voyager 2 probe.
Can you photograph a nebula?
To photograph the Orion Nebula you'll need to use a DSLR camera fitted with a lens or attached to a telescope with a focal length of 500mm or longer. The arrangement will also need to be on a driven mount, to permit you to capture the long exposures without features trailing across the image.
Are Hubble images real?
TLDR: Yes, Hubble images are real. This series of posts is dedicated to the scrutiny of Hubble imagery and a broader discussion of the veracity of astronomical imagery.
What nebulae can be seen with the naked eye?
Orion Nebula The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky.
