WHAT DOES NEBULIUM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

nebulium

Nebulium

Nebulium was a proposed element found in a nebula by William Huggins in 1864. The strong green emission lines of the Cat's Eye Nebula, discovered using spectroscopy, led to the postulation that an as yet unknown element was responsible for this emission. In 1927, Ira Sprague Bowen showed that the lines are emitted by doubly ionized oxygen, and no new element was necessary to explain them.
