Flying Squirrel Nebula
The spambot question was: Write the words which don't belong (no commas, just spaces, 3 words): Galaxy Comet Astronomy Fluffy Supernova Asteroid Meteor Pluto Jupiter Cotton Mercury Candy Saturn Mars Venus, so Fluffy Cotton Candy somewhat counts too :]

Leda's Heart Nebula: Zeus took the form of a swan and seduced Leda, wife of Tyndareus -- king of Sparta. Great conversation starter when discussing planetary nebulae.

Anyone remember the ghosts in Super Mario Bros.? I think the Boo Nebula would be fitting.

"Flying Squirrel" was my first thought, so I go with that. Seems to be in second place to variations on "Pillow", but that's boring IMO.
"Starfish" has been getting some votes, but I don't really see it. Besides, the experts who study them prefer "Sea Star", since it's not a fish.

It looks like an arrow head. Let's call it "Big Arrow".

Reminds me of the little ghost in GhostBusters but its name leaves something to be desired - Slimer aka, so someone says, Onionhead. Go with Casper......

At first I thought Pillow Nebula, but someone's suggestion of Popcorn Nebula is inspired!!!
