It's called Mystic Mountain. What's truly amazing is the detail of chemical elements and highlight features are so subdued that the human eye cannot see them. The Hubble images are downloaded as black and white, and color is added for a number of different reasons to show the detail for those elements. Without a telescope, it looks like a faint white wispy blob from a hundred light years away, it will still look faint and white and wispy if you were right next to it, covering more of the sky. If you were right next to this, you wouldn't be able to make out these colours at all - it'd be far too dim. It would be something a bit more like the milky way, a cloudiness in the sky that makes an interesting shape, but not bright enough to see if you're in a city.

Here is another one that blows my mind.

The two Antennae galaxies smash together, billions of stars are born. Andromeda and Milky Way will look like this in the distant future.

When I first saw that first nebula shot I thought it was a Photoshop of Pillars of Creation and I was supposed to see goatse in it or something.

I remember i saved every single image on that site in my computer and put it as a desktop background that switches every 30 minutes.
