The nebula should be called "Casper" (the friendly ghost)

[Mysturji]

The Pillow Nebula has already been suggested, so I'll go with "The Ravioli Nebula".

I immediately thought 'Pillow Nebula'. I see above that others had the same thought.

The Colbchella Nebula.

My first impulse was "Toasted Marshmallow," but when I looked at it again, it reminded me of accidentally (or not) catching your marshmallow on fire when you are toasting it. I'm going with "Flaming Marshmallow."
