Fire Nebula

Characteristics

It is unknown how nebulas actually form, but what is known is that they take a lot of time to do so. There is scientific proof of organic matter in nebulas, as well as ice, two vital components for life which are not usual is space. The discovery of the two components sparkled a theory which suggests that nebulas might be created by the collision of multiple celestial bodies by cause of their orbits intersecting on unusual circumstances.
If this theory was correct, it is suggested that the precursor celestial bodies would necessarily need to collide in a very aggressive and direct manner, destroying themselves as the collision happened.

All of that matter is launched into space in non-heliocentric orbits, and because of their small mass, all those microscopic particles are thrown out of their original system, creating nebulas. Howeverm, some of the matter would eventually be trapped by gravity of nearby astronomical objects, creating asteroid belts between orbits of closeby planets, but the remaining matter becomes clouds of golden dust.

The theory, sometimes called "theory of planetary nebulas" is most of the times discredited, as many scientists think such a collision would not spread enough materials to form a nebula, but even if enough were spread, they would not reach terminal velocity to escape their system, being forced to spin around their star, and not forming colorful nebulas but asteroid belts.
Specifically the fire nebula is one of the most dense nebulas known on the galaxy, reason why it is very difficult to maintain stable communications through, but also reason why it is believed gigantic creatures might life within them, generating many myths during the galaxy's history.

Location

The fire nebula is a region of the galactic core. It is composed mostly by asteroids and space dust, as well as materials like hydro.

Truth or legend?

There are myths about giant creatures living within the nebula, and even after having no evidence of their existence, many think huge animals live within them. Some might call the creature as "Furoia", while others might know it as "Sascaw".
The names themselves come from "big unknown-thing" in old Yaithian and "space cow" from Engliod.
