I'd call it the Wonton Nebula. That came to mind before I read that you were taking suggestions for a name.

So many suggestions and agreement for pillow/marshmallow or other rectangular shapes. And so sure of themselves! Why??? I think these people do not have good monitors or have their brightness turned so far down that they cannot see the
MOST UNIQUE AND DISTINGUISHING FEATURE in the image - the five pointed feature!
I'll just leave this here again:

But seriously, The Flying Squirrel is the best so far.

Personally I think that this should be named the Armstrong Nebula to remember the great man...

The wizard nebula. Starting from the lowest part, you can see his scraggly beard. Moving upward the mouth and large nose are visible, and finally the large-brimmed pointy hat!

I could go for Flying Squirrel. But I also suggest "The Brain Nebula"

I am definitely thinking the flying squirrel nebula. You can see the four paws, the tail, and even a faint head. Of course, it could be a sugar glider...

"The amazing flying sea of space star that looks like a flying squirrel"
But what I am wondering is what are the objects that look like stars stretched in all directions all around it? That isn't massive gravitational lensing is it?

I second that name. Pillow is what came to mind first. Then again, I just got up.
