Dan Daniel - Venus, a young nebula (Venus, o nebuloasă tânără)- marble (marmură), 39x21x17cm, 2018, Rosia, Romania

A young nebula is a vast region in space composed of gas and stellar dust. It is often associated with star formation. When a region in space becomes dense enough, gravity starts to pull the material together, forming a protostar.

The protostar then accumulates more material at its center, developing into a young star.

At the same time, the remaining material around it can remain as gas and dust, forming a spectacular young nebula.

These nebulae can be observed through telescopes and offer a wonderful view of the processes of star formation
