Reflection nebulae are a type of astronomical object composed of dust and gas that reflects light from nearby stars. Unlike emission nebulae, which glow by ionizing gas through the energy from nearby hot stars, reflection nebulae do not produce their own light. Instead, they scatter the light from nearby stars, causing them to appear illuminated.
