How do we get pictures of nebula?

To photograph the Orion Nebula you’ll need to use a DSLR camera fitted with a lens or attached to a telescope with a focal length of 500mm or longer. The arrangement will also need to be on a driven mount, to permit you to capture the long exposures without features trailing across the image.

What do nebulae look like to the naked eye?

Most nebulae – clouds of interstellar gas and dust – are difficult if not impossible to see with the unaided eye or even binoculars. But the Orion Nebula is in a class nearly all by itself. It’s visible to the unaided eye on a dark, moonless night. To me, it looks like a star encased in a globe of luminescent fog.

  • Is NASA replacing the Hubble Space Telescope?

    Well, I sort of spoiled this one already, but the Hubble Space Telescope is about to become obsolete. NASA is launching the James Webb Telescope in 2021 in order to replace it, though not immediately. NASA hopes that Hubble will continue to function well into the 2020s.

    Can Hubble Space Telescope observe Earth?

    NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope is the first astronomical observatory placed into orbit around Earth with the ability to record images in wavelengths of light spanning from ultraviolet to near-infrared. Hubble continues to operate high above the blurring effects of Earth’s atmosphere.
