This most recent one I thought was awesome. It was discovered in 1787 by an astronomer named William Herschel and was named the Eskimo Nebula because of its resemblance to an Eskimo in a parka. You can read all about it here.
It is such a beautiful thing, but what gets me the most is its size. We are talking about a Solar-System sized image. I can't get my mind around it. Yet all of this Universe exists in the mind of God. He created it and He sustains it. It is like the night sky is some grand canvas that He is still working on, and it puts any paint splatter artist to shame.
