I'm no astrophysicist, but I do enjoy good science news. Back in 2007 this was quite an exciting find. For those with Lovecraftian beliefs, it was taken as a sign. Not a bad thought as the picture shows:
It was originally thought that this "green blob" was giving birth to new stars. However, NASA has said that, based on evidence from the Hubble Telescope, this is not the case. I enclose an article from "The DailyTech." Pretty interesting, still.

How long, Dread Lord, unholy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell upon the earth?
