5 Reasons Why You Should't Date A Nebula

Okay, so no one ever said they'd date a nebula. However, if we were to personify this extraterrestrial beauty based on their nature, they definitely would not be a compatible partner. Here are four reasons why!

1. They are a ball of FURY.

Within the star's development, vicious stellar winds and intense ultraviolet radiation is projected, carving dense towers of gas, which inevitably become entrapped within the walls of the nebula. Clouds of dust and gas are formed representative of the raw material constructing the new star.

2. They have attachment issues.

Nebulas are formed within a star cluster, where stars are born amongst each other within the same time and place [5]. Although they are birthed in unity, they age and inevitably die out alone, which makes it hard for them to develop meaningful relationships.

3. They can be bipolar. (no pun intended)

Unlike ordinary planetary nebulae, the Celestial Butterfly has two stars at its core, distinguishing itself as a bipolar nebula. The two stars that encompass the astonishing figure are relics of a dying star and a small white dwarf— stellar remnants that have exhausted their nuclear fuel.

4. It would have to be long distance.

In the case of L2 Puppis, an offspring of the red giant star closest to Earth, roughly 200 light-years away. Not sure, how communication would work, especially with the complicated time difference.

5. They’re very gassy.

In the case of bipolar nebulas, as the white dwarf orbits its dying partner, jets of gas is ejected creating its celestial shape. The lively colors that illuminate from this cloud of gas result from the the dying star approaching its final stages. Through the stars’ rotation,  jets of gas are ejected from the outer layer creating such vibrant hues (3).
