Yes, the Cosmic Bat Nebula does look like Batman in flight, I'll grant you that.



The Cosmic Bat Nebula is also known as LDN 43. LDN means Lynd's Dark Nebula. And the Cosmic Bat sure is dark, just like Batman. But unlike Batman, the Cosmic Bat is a mom. The eerily glowing orange patches in the Cosmic Bat are sites of star formation and newborn stars.
