Hubble finds strange green blob....


In a cold, dark, extremely remote place in the universe something is taking place that shouldn't by common conventions be happening at all!

The Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a bizarre glowing green blob. This mysterious giant blob is doing something so unexpected that it has left scientists totally baffled. Part of the blob are collapsing and in these collapsed areas, new born stars can be found. Stars being born in the dark lonely places between galaxies, not deep inside the heat and pressure that galactic stellar nurseries provide? It should not be happening, but it is and that is what has astronomers so excited. Up until this blob was discovered in 2007 stellar scientists had not considered star gestation in such remote areas. However since the first discovery, astronomers have found 18 more of these strange nurseries and something else totally curious...all of them are about half the size of the first....
