APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)

[wbd]

My first thought was that it looks like a pillow, so I'll say Pillow Nebula.
But I'm sure with different filters etc., it could be seen as something else entirely.

Janus. It looks like two profiles facing apart.

How about 'Janus' then?

[Guest]

Pillow Nebula. Obviously.

I like Marshmallow Nebula myself, that or the Eraserhead Baby Cottage Cheese Explosion Nebula.

Flying Squirrel Nebula !?

Looks like a magic carpet - I also thought it looked like a pillow - a little too much starch, however.

[deathfleer]

I thought of suggesting Pillow, but many overtook me

The Diamond Nebula: in hommage to John Lennon's Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

[PLozar]

The Scone Nebula!

[mfavret]

In my opinion "Pillow nebula" seems so evident but also so appropriate !

[APOD-Reader]

The Great Manta

[Steindavid]

It's obviously Einstein's brain!

"Flying squirrel" is good, but .... marshmallow nebula is right-on. Just roasted some last weekend, so the image is fresh on my brain.

Silk cushion Nebula, Pillow nebula

[bill mcclellan]

I see a pillow. Then again, I'm very tired.

[Alex Agudo]

Envelope Nebula.
