The Sponge Nebula. If you are looking up from the water and someone drops a sponge in, the surface would look like that, complete with ripples and splash.

Only 61 more pages of marshmallows, pillows, flying squirrels, and ravioli to go and this thread will tie with the Strange Streak thread, Asterisk's long time reigning champion for replies. Strange Streak has been #1 since 2004.

It can have only one name: The Stay Puft Nebula.

Hog's Head Nebula. The bright central region is a head in profile: snout pointing to the right, ear folded forward; diagonal dust lane at left defines base of neck.

It most resembles a pillow, but it also looks like a toasted marshmallow. S'mores anyone?

Nope, with all that chilly condensation around it, it's definitely one of those fancy Italian ice-creams, in a biscuit cone. It's so vivid it could even be a stylised sign for a shop. Ice-cream cone nebula or ice-cream nebula it should be.
