I was just thinking of something along these lines just not two days ago and before I read anything about this, as I just started reading this a few minutes ago. I have come to accept that when I make such observations then, with a defined exception that does not apply in this case, then that is something similar to the toaster observation I made a few months ago. This observation is associated with a sense of evildoers on the part of the people writing and reporting on those details. As I just wrote that last sentence, I remembered that dialog from the 1996 film "Star Trek: First Contact" about the telescope and of how I have associated that with the Hubble Space Telescope, of which I supervised the delivery of that asset to space because back then I was the chief astronaut in charge of space shuttle operations.
So anyway, I think I was having that line of thought about two days ago and I was standing around in the laundry room waiting for my laundry to finish and I was just having a series of what seemed to be random thought and I was thinking over about how there could be planets that are not part of the known galaxies and I was thinking about how those planets, circling around stars the way our planet Earth circles our star in our galactic solar system, would be just about impossible to detect.
I decided to post this observation because I believe these people in that article are evildoers and are up to criminal activity that I need to look closer into.

Hubble telescope zeroes in on green blob in space

WASHINGTON (AP) - 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 (HAN'-nee's-FOR'-vehrp). Voorwerp is Dutch for object.
NASA released the new Hubble photo Monday at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Seattle.
Parts of the green blob are collapsing and the resulting pressure from that is creating the stars. The stellar nurseries are outside of a normal galaxy, which is usually where stars live.
That makes these "very lonely newborn stars" that are "in the middle of nowhere," said Bill Keel, the University of Alabama astronomer who examined the blob.
The blob is the size of our own Milky Way galaxy and it is 650 million light years away. Each light year is about 6 trillion miles.
The blob is mostly hydrogen gas swirling from a close encounter of two galaxies and it glows because it is illuminated by a quasar in one of the galaxies. A quasar is a bright object full of energy powered by a black hole.
The blob was discovered by elementary school teacher Hanny van Arkel, who was 24 at the time, as part of a worldwide Galaxy Zoo project where everyday people can look at archived star photographs to catalog new objects.
Van Arkel said when she first saw the odd object in 2007 it appeared blue and smaller. The Hubble photo provides a clear picture and better explanation for what is happening around the blob.
"It actually looked like a blue smudge," van Arkel told The Associated Press. "Now it looks like dancing frog in the sky because it's green." She says she can even see what passes for arms and eyes.
Since van Arkel's discovery, astronomers have looked for similar gas blobs and found 18 of them. But all of them are about half the size of Hanny's Voorwerp, Keel said.
