One type, the integrated flux nebula, is lit only by the distant light of stars in a galaxy such as the Milky Way. Faint and cool, they may take hours of exposure time to get a good image.
The nebula has an extent of one million lightyears across, and these objects are so distant that their light has taken nearly 10 billion years to reach telescopes on Earth. This false color image ...
