The Pillow Nebula, of course.

This is obviously the Cotton Bale Nebula. If you've ever seen a Cotton Bale bursting at the ends, you'll know what I mean.
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
either marshmallow or pillow in space
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
Looks like a developing cumulonimbus so I'll suggest Nebulo-nimbus for this.

Sweet dreams pillow nebula
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
How about the Flying Squirrel Nebula?
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
How about Used Cotton Swab.. or UCS

The Starfish Nebeula
(it looks like the common geometric shape of a five pointed star. might as well be a fish to avoid boringness and confusion)
The Shark Nebula
(i'm seeing marine life! it a shark with long fins swimming to the left. his tail fin was destroyed in a fight. it's just a point now)
The Chimp-face Nebula
There's the face of a chimpanzee in there. The face is looking to the right slightly (not in full profile.) It's about where the top and right points of the star shape meet.
The Mufasa Nebula
why not?
Sorry if any of these are already in use. I'm not well versed in nebulae names

Kilimanjaro Nebula
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
This should be called the "Swan's Pillow"
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
Both shape and texture remind me of a Fleece rug. Therefore: Fleece Nebula
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
Ice Cube Nebula is first thought when I seen it.
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
Sugar-Glider or Marshmallow Nebula.
Both are accurate funny and popular.
