Ice Cube Nebula; although Pillow Case is good too.

Looks like the space shuttle about to pass over

[Vinnie_R38]

Devilfish Nebula sounds good to me.

I agree with the earlier perspective - should be called the pillow nebula

Definitely a Starfish. Or the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

Awesome!!!! The StarFish Nebula!!!!! look at it again....Five Legs...off from a large center....a Starfish....appropriate too.

In a few thousand years, or tens it should be nice and translucent....

This still looks like it is exploding, and it is not a smooth process...amazing.

First thought when I saw it: "What?!! It looks like a pillow." Pillow Nebula

[Ralphem]

Ice Cube Nebula

[Guest]

How about the Dove Nebula? The light blue does make the shape of a dove or another songbird, and the brown in the image does make you imagine the feathers on the top wing.

[David Ross]

The Pillow Nebula. Adding one more vote!

[Mostoller]
