Beignet (ben'ya), it looks like a New Orleans French Quarter Cafe DuMond Beignet covered in powdered sugar. YUM!

As previously said, it has to be The Pillow nebula.
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)

"Ravioli Nebula", cause it just looks like the italian pasta
But, Pillow nebula was the first name I came up too...

The nebula should be called "Casper" (the friendly ghost)
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
The Pillow Nebula has already been suggested, so I'll go with "The Ravioli Nebula". ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

I immediately thought 'Pillow Nebula'. I see above that others had the same thought.

Flying Squirrel Nebula was the first thing I thought of when I saw it.
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
Definitely the pillow nebula.

Grandma's Feather Bed
9 feet high and 6 feet wide; soft as a downy chick ...

My first impulse was "Toasted Marshmallow," but when I looked at it again, it reminded me of accidentally (or not) catching your marshmallow on fire when you are toasting it. I'm going with "Flaming Marshmallow."
