First thing came to mind was Flying Squirrel for me as well.

It looks like a block of "SALT LICK" which is actually a mineral lick for animals.

"Pillow Nebula" is the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw it.

Chalk another up for "flying squirrel nebula"
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
Looks like a person in a flying wing suit.
Flying squirrel is also good idea.

The Swan's Down Nebula: in the constellation Cygnus and it seems soft and elegant

I believe "raviolo" is the singular for ravioli?

I first thought of a pillow, but what's even MORE like a pillow?

It reminds me of a manta ray, or perhaps two of them increasing the population thereof, so I suggest calling it the Manta Nebula.

Manta Ray or Starfish Nebula
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
It reminds me of a manta ray (an oceanic animal),
or perhaps two of them increasing their population.
Therefore I suggest calling it the Manta Nebula.

Possible names: The Raviolo Nebula, The Cauliflower Nebula, The Vanilla Scoop Nebula, The Conch Nebula, the Mashed Potato Nebula
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
The Marshmallow Nebula! Pillow Nebula would be good,too, as soneone already said. It also kind o' looks like a Flying Squirrel! Oh! someone said that too! Or The Wing Suit nebula!
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
I think it should be called "The Pillow Nebula".
