About your previous post, space-paintings sound awesome

You’re awesome

Go big or go home

What are some of your favorite science segments from the Tonight Show?

Hey, @luminarysiralexrluma! 

We <3 science here at The Tonight Show! 

Kevin Delaney has shown us how to make toothpaste for elephants! 

We’ve made ping-pong balls fly. 

And Kevin even hung out backstage to share 8 interesting science facts! 

Jimmy and Bill Gates tried poop water. 

Jimmy, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Astronaut Scott Kelly became friends via Twitter! 

Neil DeGrasse Tyson schooled us on physics! 

And we tried to sell Charles Barkley on space travel! 

Science rules! 

Hope your week is out of this world! - Noah 

What is a "nebula"?

A nebula is a large cloud of dust and gas that are star-forming regions. They’re formed when a star dies and its outer layers expand, creating a colourful cloud of gas. In other cases, they’re formed when a star goes supernova (when a really big and bright star dies and explodes).

There are emission nebulae, reflection nebulae and dark nebulae. Emission nebulae are close enough to a star that the gas particles absorb the UV light, get excited and emit their own light. Reflection nebulae are when a nebulae isn’t close enough to a star to absorb it’s UV light so it just reflects it. Dark nebulae aren’t close enough to a star to either absorb it’s light nor reflect it. The only way a dark nebulae is visible is if there’s a star behind it that can act as a backdrop, illuminating the back of the nebulae.

HOW DID I SCREW UP THIS BAD

This is wonderful.
