That is what I assumed... kind of a let down considering what sci-fi does to you... the viewscreen and "stock" images on Star Trek... So, would we suffer from effects of extra friction in a nebula? I realize they are quite vast, but would we have issues with gravity? And how do the gases in the area (hydrogen, etc) not burn up...? thanks for the info...

What I wonder is that if we were near say "The Large Magellanic Cloud", what would it look like to the naked eye? Would we see the bright blues, oranges, pinks, and greens that we see in the pictures from magazines or Hubble website, or would it be nothing more than the blackness of space, but with a thicker area where a bunch of gases have built up. Would we even know we were flying into the nebula? or would our experience be similar to what we see during sunrise/sunset, where we can see the scattering of light through the atmosphere... I've been lurking for a while, but this question finally got me to register... This is a great site! Bryan Brake
