Ok, that’s the skull. Now, do how aliens would reconstruct the Nebula’s face, vs the Nabula’s actual face.

The petals of this rose are actually a stellar nursery where new stars are being born. This nebula has also been referred to as the “skull”, as it resembles a human skull in certain orientations.

I mostly really dont like the use of “depicts” here. Depicts means is a representation of, which is just wrong and feels a little too close to creationist. “Resembles” would be better.

I just watched a bunch of baby monkey videos, so it just looks like a baby monkey to me.
