That's amazing. What are the predominate elements/material in that image? I mean, have astronomers come up with reasons why the flame nebula, well, looks like a flame to us?

Yes. Nebulas are lit up by the stars that form in them from the gas and dust. The elements within the clouds are what determine the color they will glow. But if the gas and dust is too thick we won't see any (visible) light from the stars within them.
