Call it the starfish nebula. Or perhaps the kite nebula. Or maybe the box kite nebula.

To me the Nebula could be named the Cloud Nebula or the Cumulus Nebula and going a bit farther in imagination the Cauliflower Nebula

when I first looked I thought of a wolf's head, but now it looks like a dumpling or a Pieróg.

With this particular image, definitely Cotton Candy Nebula was the only thing that came to mind.

Starfish Nebula? I think it looks like a starfish :yes: Or simply a 5-pointed star. But mostly a starfish. :clap:

I would call it, the "Pillow Nebula", on account of the fact that is has four corners and looks to be very fluffy.
