A nebula is defined as:
an interstellar cloud of gas and dust. The properties of nebulae vary enormously and depend on their composition as well as the environment in which they are situated.

I was trying to recreate an artist representation of a nebula. The main colours were green and purple.
This piece was 3 layers of resin, creating a multi layered effect. As we know a nebula is massive, and made from gas. So, I wanted a smokey effect, depth of view & sparkle to represent stars. I have found this incredibly hard to photograph- so stay with me…
Jump online and type in ‘Nasa + Crab Nebula” and I promise you won’t be disappointed.

So I leave you with a few questions:
- How do you reach your science students?
- How do you enthuse students?
- How do you let students express themselves artistically?
