Bird watching in space

Have you ever looked up at the sky and seen imaginary figures in the clouds? Astronomers do this too, only our clouds are called nebulae and they lie far out in space. Unlike the clouds on Earth which are made of water, nebulae are made up of gas and dust. Astronomer's saw the shape of a bird's head in the swirls of this cloud and named it the Seagull nebula.
