It's not fake, just processed differently.

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.
All of these kinds of photos are doctored because the raw data isn't as interesting.
Ok, that's the skull. Now, do how aliens would reconstruct the Nebula's face, vs the Nabula's actual face.
I just watched a bunch of baby monkey videos, so it just looks like a baby monkey to me.
