The sky on Earth is blue because blue light is scattered through the atmosphere as the other colors of light pass through undisturbed. Which nebulae have something similar going on?​

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection nebulae mostly appear to have a blue colour. This is because particles in the nebula scatter (or reflect) blue light more efficiently than they scatter red light. The same effect is responsible for our sky being blue, not red, during the daytime.
