Answer to Question 2

1) We can see the three different types of nebulae with the aid of optical telescopes. 2) As starlight travels through the ISM, gas atoms can absorb specific wavelengths and form interstellar absorption lines in the spectra of those stars. Astronomers can distinguish interstellar absorption lines from stellar absorption lines in a number of ways. 3) You expect from Kirchhoff's second law (Chapter 7) that an excited low-density gas viewed against an empty or colder background should produce an emission spectrum, and the ISM does exactly that.
