How about the star nebula?

At first I thought it should be called the cocoon nebula, but I believe that name is taken. The inside reminds me of what would be on the inside of a cocoon. Perhaps we could call it the pupa nebula, larvae nebula or something similar. Maybe the grub nebula.

I suggest NGC 7027 should be ‘Moomintroll Nebula’ or just the ‘Moomin Nebula’ after Tove Jansen’s illustrations ? I remember a fluffy cloud picture ...

And also their association with the night sky generally ..

So when I saw this image,
It immediately transformed into

except with far better drawing skills !!

I just hope I’m not alone in seeing it....

Please forgive this 61 yr old total noob. No matter what I do I can’t get my pics on google drive to display using Preview. Despite some IT skills, but [img2] tag showed a thumbnail once !

Usually, the URL needs to end in .jpg (or .gif, or .png) to display an image inline. I removed the img2 tags from the non-image urls, which, though they show an image, are actually a web page with an image inside, not a direct link to an image. This allowed the one image to show up. The rest will have to be clickable urls, unfortunately.

Your suggestion is very cute.

The Cerebrum Nebula! Because it looks like a human brain.

I thought it looked like fairy wings
