Nebula are an accumulation of gas particles.
Bearing in mind that there untold billions of atoms in the cosmos.
Any two atoms have a gravitational attraction between them. they come together, thus attracting more gas particles by gravitational attraction.
These gas particles become so crowded that they begin to glow, (the nebula).
The analogy, is a dance hall/disco; maybe two people will statr to dance. Eventually a lot more people arrive on the dance floor, and it becomes hot and crowded.
Under further gravitational attraction these hot crowded gas particles keep accumulating into a hot glowing ball. Because partiucles are now so crowded nuclear fusion starts, and releases energy. Hence a Star/Sun.
Because this process takes billions of years we do not instantaneously see it going on.
NB All stars are nuclear reactors in space.
If the pressure inside a nebula exceeds the force of gravity, it would expand and push against the force of gravity, causing the nebula to push outward and disperse. This could disrupt the process of star formation and prevent gravity from collapsing the nebula into a protostar.
Emission nebula glow and reflection nebula reflect the light form other stars

An absorption nebula is a dark nebula, which absorbs all incident radiation without reemission.
Another popular nebula is the Eagle Nebula, also known as Messier 16. It is located in the constellation Serpens and is famous for the "Pillars of Creation," which are towering columns of interstellar gas and dust where new stars are forming.
Shred Nebula happened in 2008.
Hades Nebula happened in 1987.

A supernova occurs.
Well, darling, a nebula is a big ol' cloud of dust and gas in space, while the Crab Nebula is a specific nebula located in the constellation Taurus. So basically, it's like saying a nebula is a generic term for a cloud in space, while the Crab Nebula is a specific cloud that got its own fancy name. Hope that clears things up for ya, sugar!
nebula
The Stingray Nebula (Hen 3-1357) is a planetary nebula. (The youngest known).
a type of nebula
"The Crab" is a nebula.
A cloud in outer space consisting of gas or dust and planetry nebula is one of the types also called ring nebula or A planetary nebula is an emission nebula consisting of a glowing shell of gas
The Helix Nebula is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Aquarius, while the Ring Nebula is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Lyra. The Helix Nebula appears more like a disk or helix shape, while the Ring Nebula appears as a ring or donut shape due to its orientation.
