Starship Asterisk*

First choice: Bowie Nebula
Second choice: Gummy Bear Nebula
Third choice: Pillow Nebula

Second.

(David) Bowie Neb.

Make it so.


TH1

Obviously, the Sandwich Bag nebula...complete with sandwich (or calf brains) inside.

This asterism struck me as the bow tie nebula

Honestly I, too, thought it was a butt. I'm 21.

In all seriousness, it kinda looks like when two atoms either merge or split apart. I'll call it the "Fission Nebula".

My nephew suggested "The Flopping Penguin Nebula". Also "The Fat Seagull Nebula". If that's too PC incorrect, "The Fluffy Seagull Nebula" would work.

Diabolo Nebula

The KIRBY NEBULA!!!! (As in the pink Kirby character...google it!)

Rose nebula
Snapdragon nebula

I disagree with everyone. It's built like a Pillow Pet. It should be called the Pillow Pet Nebula Another option could be the Pizza Roll Nebula or Blossoming Flower Nebula. Also a good name would be Cotton Candy Nebula. If you are interested in more names we recommend Jiggly Puff Nebula.

Another one from me is "The Puffin Nebula". If you turn the picture upside down, you can see the wings, tail, beak, and even the puffin's eye.

A lot of people seem to be keying on the pink. Here's some other views:

Tater Tot Nebula

Okay, my first response seems to have been deleted. Sorry about that. But it still looks like a p**** hat to me. :-/

The Bill Nye bow tie nebula

Remy says strawberry ice cream and Isaac says pink sorbet

The Mary Kay Nebula?

I would suggest the Trump Nebula, because it's a gas bag, it's a hot mess, and it looks like an ass.

Another vote for Kirby!

Butt Cheek Nebula.

I agree with the throwing star association (the Japanese word for it sounds better) It's the first thing I thought of looking at the image

My recommended name is an adaptation of the pillow suggestion. How about call it the ZEPNOS nebula? I've no earthly accomplishments to be Remember me by when I'm gone and I would like this. It's after the Greek God of slumber!

What about Moth-Nebula or Night Butterfly?

What else could it be other than "The Pink Bow Tie Nebula"?

The Purugly Nebula.
