Semi-serious post!...As nebula means "cloud" in Latin I guess it means that same as with clouds anyone can see any sort of shape in these astronomical objects. It just struck me how similar to a sleeping boy face is the Fish Head Nebula, especially in its starless version... I've paired the nebula's photo with the first Google search result for " sleeping boy" to try and prove my point! The painting is A SCHOOLBOY SLEEPING ON HIS BOOK By Jean-Baptiste Greuze

Thanks for sharing!  While I was unfamiliar with the painting, there is definitely a strong resemblance.  I can appreciate the analogy as I used to watch clouds during road trips and moves as a kid to help pass the time.
