Check the Astronomy Picture Of the Day on 1-12. It's the Helix in infrared as taken by the Spitzer telescope. Given the appearance of the object in this image, I propose that it be renamed the Sauron Nebula.

Good choice for a name. I have a couple others that might fit.

The red-eye flight nebula
The bottle flu nebula

Maybe? It's a great photo from Spitzer none the less.
