Here is my latest composition, "The Trapezium". The name origines from the prominent tripplet star system in the center.
Most of the sapce nebulas consists of gas and dust. The gas is mostly hydrogen, which lights up in astrophotos in red while oxygen is green.
So consequently I designed this nebula in typical red colours to stay close to reality.
In our oceans waves are running through to give everything in its path a push. It's like standing at the beach and a wave is coming in.
Space is also like an ocean but in space you have gravity waves, which are running through space. These waves bend the space at their path.
This gives everything in its way a push. And these pushes are the clear defined shocklines which you can see in many of astrophotos of nebulas.
This sudden push (thrust) then leads to clumping at these frontlines, which leads to concentration of the matter here.
That's how stars are formed in the beginning.
In my nebula you can also see some sharper defined shocklines, that's where I placed a few more prominent stars in the nebula.
You see them clearly at the bottom and in the center in the version without stars.
