Dragonfish
The name ‘Dragonfish’ came from a comparison of the infrared image of the celestial gas shell with Peter Shearer’s illustration of a deep-sea creature with the same name. The connection is in part due to the astronomical image resembling a dark gaping mouth-like shape with teeth, two eyes, and a bright fin to the right. In this case the ‘mouth’ is formed by the volume from which the gas has been cleared by the light of the stars, pushed outward to form a shell.
