The Ravioli Nebula!

[charliepatriot]

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

[guesty]

Cottage cheese nebula

[SHEKENROD]

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

[iamatman]

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

[logantf]

Chalk another up for "flying squirrel nebula"

[boredkitty]

Flying Squirrel Nebula!

[Jtmarkle]

Looks like a person in a flying wing suit.
Flying squirrel is also good idea.

[wrcamato]

Mermaids Purse Nebula

[Sherry_Fé]

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

[Juantoday]

I believe "raviolo" is the singular for ravioli?

[zen-fro]

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

The Totoro Nebula!

Our family has some suggestions:
Flying Squirrel Nebula
The Sunrise Nebula
Shooting Star Nebula
also...
Toasted Marshmallow Nebula

[Buffalo Bob]

Pillow Galaxy is obvious...How about the Hereford Galaxy. I think I see a cows face!

[Beyond]

GALAXY Well, it does have the right number of letters.

[Ornithikos]

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

[justguest]

blue diamond nebula

[SpookySpace]

Manta Ray or Starfish Nebula

[AstroKelley]

Cotton ball nebula!!

[eforsberg]

Pentalpha

[MichaelC]

The Amoeba Nebula

[Ornithikos]

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.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manta_ray.

[Ricardo]

Possible names: The Raviolo Nebula, The Cauliflower Nebula, The Vanilla Scoop Nebula, The Conch Nebula, the Mashed Potato Nebula

[Zelda]

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!

[blairsensei]

I think it should be called "The Pillow Nebula".
