That's great Richard!!  Seeing it that way, maybe it should be renamed "The Ya-Ya Nebula".

Subject: [APML] IC1848/IC1805 region "the heart nebula"

Stuart Heggie and I were discussing the origins of the name "Heart and Soul" or "Heart and Baby/Fetus" nebulae

 

For many the "Heart" part was obvious. But I had noted to Stuart that the Heart isn't just the Heart. Our daughter, the professional musician, saw it in a musical context. Being a child of the 60's/70's myself, I had noticed the same resemblence myself and coindicentally had actually included this alternate view as a joke in a talk I gave at a recent astronomy club meeting.

 

Considering recent events in Boston etc, it seems appropriate to raise it to the group's attention now:
