The Ant Nebula, a cloud of dust and gas whose technical name is Mz3, resembles
In third place is Nebula NGC 2392, called Eskimo because it looks like a face

At four is the Cat’s Eye Nebula
The Hourglass Nebula, 8,000 light years away
In sixth place is the Cone Nebula. The part pictured here is 2.5 light years in

The Perfect Storm, a small region in the Swan Nebula, 5,500 light years away
Starry Night, so named because it reminded astronomers of the Van Gogh painting.
The glowering eyes from 114 million light years away are the swirling cores of two merging galaxies called NGC 2207
