Life nebulae

She rowed her boat over the stars and carefully started to take into a bottle a piece of the nebula. 

This was the seventh that night. She would bottle them up and bring them back to the lab to study them. 

In the lab, she moved them from the hotel to a fishbowl-like space in the wall. The nebula would change and take the shape of a fish. Changing colours as it swam in the new tank.
