Starship Asterisk*

Better still: Gloria Swanson!

How about the Starfish Nebula?

I think it looks like a pizza roll

The Pillow Nebula is a perfect name, leave it as it is...

Reminded me of the sandworms (shai-hulud) of Karakis

I think it looks like candy floss, thus 'candy floss nebula.'

Interesting, Google's best guess of the image is "Atmosphere"!

I thought it looked like a butterfly. so, how about "butterfly nebula"?

It is a brilliant learning opportunity, I think it should be called the Open Book Nebula.

May I suggest the Brain Nebula? Or something similar like the Cranium Nebula?

Is there a chrysalis nebula? This reminds me very much of those left on our oak trees. I suggest Chrysalis - I believe we already have a Butterfly Nebula....

The Twitter Nebula !!!

Pillow Nebula I think is good, and I would further suggest for consideration "The Big Pillow Nebula" that is a bit more catchy for evolving young astronomers, lay public, and the media folk because it provides a a better "word picture" in our minds. The Big Pillow Nebula, I can see it even as I write this to APOD.

Zygote Nebula, because it looks like the first cell division. Although I must say I rather like the name Pillow Nebula too.

WHY NOT PATRICK?

How about the Pink Pillow Nebula?

I suggest “Silk Scarf”.

My vote is for the PILLOW NEBULA.

One of my students suggests that it be called the Starfish Nebula. He made this comment before knowing the guessing game was about to come...

It looks like two roses to me, one behind the other. So how about the "Two Rose" (or "Double Rose") Nebula?
