Can I ask a really dumb question?
When we see these "clouds" in space, are we looking at gaseous material or is it just a bunch of relatively-close stars?

That is a bunch of gas and "dust" that's being illuminated by stars in and around.

I also have an even dumber question. Just HOW do people take these? How does the camera catch these details but not our eyes? Is this believable

Cameras an telescopes have bigger surface collecting light than pur eyes. Also these picture are stacked. That means you take a video of the target you want the picture of and a program breaks it down to frames and you layer those frames (the good ones) on each other with another program so you can get a high resolution picture like these. These are very good ones.
