    Nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust‚ hydrogen‚ helium and other ionised gasses. The discovery of nebula goes back to the early 1600s. Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc discovered the Orion Nebula in 1610 using a refracting telescope. Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc used this telescope to observe the skies‚ for example‚ it was used to observe Jupiter’s moons as well as other aspects of space‚ including nebulae. The discovery of the Orion nebula was revolutionary. While it was Nicolas-Claude Fabri

One of these novae‚ however‚ turned out to be a Cepheid variable‚ a star that changes predictably in brightness. This Cepheid‚ and others subsequently discovered in the Andromeda Nebula‚ enabled Hubble to prove that the Nebula was not
