I propose to rename "The Bubble Nebula" to "The Firefox Nebula" |

Ever wondered what inspired the logo colors for Mozilla's Firefox browser?
I found out while stumbling the web with StumbleUpon.
One of these clicks brougt me to Bill Kerr's Flickr page where a certain resemblance with the Firefox logo can't be missed.
Here's what I saw:
It did not take long to combine the Firefox Logo and this striking picture of NGC 7635 (The Bubble Nebula) in the constellation Cassiopeia.

So what do you think? Is NGC 7635 a rather dull Bubble Nebula or a bright and shiny Firefox Nebula?
