Gas cloud in space (6)

I believe the answer is:

nebula

(Other definitions for nebula that I've seen before include "Cloudy mass in the heavens" , "Bright patch in sky from distant galaxy (6)." , "Cosmic cloud" , "Hazy light; a slight cloudiness" , "Cloud of gas and dust in outer space" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
