Manatee Nebula
The long supernova remnant W50 can be seen in radio wavelengths in this image. Some astronomers, particularly those from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, think it bears a striking resemblance to a manatee and recently gave it the name Manatee nebula. It joins a long list of animal-shaped nebula that we recently chronicled.
