    There are more things in heaven and earth

    Science Now article
    The Hubble Space Telescope got its first peek at a mysterious giant green blob in outer space and found that it's strangely alive.

    The bizarre glowing blob is giving birth to new stars, some only a couple million years old, in remote areas of the universe where stars don't normally form.

    The blob of gas was first discovered by a Dutch school teacher in 2007 and is named Hanny's Voorwerp. Voorwerp is Dutch for object.

    Planet Earth and Space get more exciting year on year. Galileo and Newton would have wet their pants over this and we don't seem to find it incredible at all.

    When you quote a 3rd party source it's customary to link the original material, for those who want more information or context.

    Thanks :)
