Not to pick nits but....there's no such species as a seagull.
There are at least twenty-eight types of gull species seen in North America...none are called seagulls. There are Herring Gulls, Black-headed Gulls, Glaucous Gulls, etc, etc.
A scientist ought to know better when naming a nebula.
Awesome photo though.

You can't be an astronomer and a biologist. Unless of course, you're an astrobiologist. There is only one type of space gull I'm aware of, but it's spelled "Gul" (and capitalized or you end up in a Cardassian labor camp):
Probably my favorite Star Trek bad guy.

The Seagull nebula was first photographed by Isaac Roberts, a Welsh engineer and businessman, back in the 19th century.
He was no scientist.
