B) It is made of planetesimals between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter that never formed into a planet.
C) It is material left over from the interstellar cloud that never contracted with the rest of the gases to form the solar nebula.
D) It is made of planetesimals that formed beyond Neptune's orbit and never accreted to form a planet.
E) It is made of planetesimals formed in the outer solar system that were flung into distant orbits by encounters with the jovian planets.

B) The Cygnus loop would appear red, and the Orion nebula would appear red.
C) The Cygnus loop would appear blue, and the Orion nebula would appear blue.
