H ii region

A glowing irregular nebular cloud of ionized hydrogen, colored mainly bright pink to red or magenta with possible hints of violet and white. The cloud has soft diffuse semi-transparent edges, a puffy to lumpy irregular rounded outline, and a smooth-to-mottled luminous interior with patchy brighter regions, clumpy emission knots, and occasional faint internal filaments. It appears translucent and illuminated from within, with no hard boundaries, characteristic of an H II emission region. Style: soft digital space clipart with feathered edges, subtle internal glow, and moderate detail.
