nebulosities

In their turn, again, these rings of cosmical matter, excited by a rotary motion about the central mass, would have been broken up and decomposed into secondary nebulosities, that is to say, into planets.

The top arc of its prostrate base reached a thousand feet or more up the precipitous wall; above it all was hidden in sparkling nebulosities that were like still clouds of greenly glimmering fire-flies.

Whence came these sparkling nebulosities, these mists of light?

Faces were rose nebulosities, memories with the fuzzy quality of dream.

The Heirs of Babylon Cook, Glen 1972

This is the more true since nebulosities in space hide numbers of stars until one chances fairly close to them.

The High Crusade Anderson, Poul, 1926- 1960

No one, who has not been stultified by theological nebulosities, ought to fail to know, as we knew when we first began to go to school, that a blind man cannot see anything at all.

Punchinello, Volume 1, No. 07, May 14, 1870 Various

Existence, to follow out the argument, is not always painted in shadow, its horizon obscured by dark-tinted nebulosities!

She and I, Volume 2 A Love Story. A Life History.

In some cases we see the nebulosity edgewise, or along the equatorial planes of the stellar vortices; in others we look down the poles, and the nebulosities are circular, and there is an endless variety in the shape and intensity of this light.

The anomalies in their motions, the discrepancies in their periods, calculated from different sets of observations, their nebulosities and appendages, will all receive a satisfactory solution; and these lawless wanderers of the deep be placed in a more interesting light.

A few of these nebulosities can be seen with the telescope but most of them are shown only in photographs.
