An international team of astronomers have discovered a new type of star system thanks to data from the Hubble Space Telescope.
The star systems, which the experts said look like “blue blobs” when observed through the lens of a telescope and which are about the size of small dwarf galaxies, are not quite galaxies and only exist in isolation.
The University of Arizona released a statement saying: “The stellar structures are thought to be created when galaxies collide with hot gas in a process that could be likened to doing a belly flop in a swimming pool.”
