Gas
* Observation: One way to detect
it is to look for the presence of anomalous lines in stellar spectra.

Dust
* Measurement: NASA's Stardust probe spent nearly
200 days with its dust collector facing the interstellar wind, and the collector was later retrieved.

Nebulae
* Distance determination:
For dark nebulae, use a diagram of star count vs apparent magnitude.
* Types: From shape/origin,
Planetary nebulae (gaseous shells expanding from hot blue stars),
Diffuse nebulae (supernova remnants or more chaotic; population I, on the
galactic plane); From radiation, Emission nebulae (around hot stars),
Reflection nebulae (around cold stars), Dark nebulae (for example, Coalsack).
* Herbig-Haro objects:
Bright nebulous regions of gas and dust often present in T star associations (T Tauri itself is inside one).
