The red glow is Hydrogen
|
|
|
Balmer (H ) emission
|
|
|
|
Could be from hot gas but
|
|
|
|
|
relative strength of emission
|
|
|
lines not always right
|
|
|
|
Can also get fluorescence:
|
|
|
|
|
UV photon from bright star
|
|
|
boosts electron to high level (or
|
|
ionizes it)
|
|
|
|
|
Emission lines created as
|
|
|
electron cascades back down
|
|
|
through H energy levels

The
horse is a dark cloud in
|
|
|
front
of the glowing gas.
