Owlice, in #8, the vast cloudy cosmic brain, is there a picture available of the Bubble-like object thats right between the right side of the gold and pink brain and a fuzzy green spot almost half-way down, that looks like it has something straight sticking out of it? it kinda looks somewhat familiar.

Owlice, I think that it may be that little thing that is the actual Bean Nebula.
