Blue Lights in Space Are Stars

Saturday, January 5, 2008 posted by Stars & Astronomy

Mysterious ‘Blue Lights’ discovered about 12 million light-years away are clusters of orphan stars that formed in an unlikely part of the universe. An analysis of archived high-resolution images from the Hubble Space Telescope have revealed that the stars were clusters of mostly young stars. Scientists were surprised by the find, because the clusters of massive stars sit along a wispy bridge of gases it collided with 200 million years ago. This means that the stars are in the middle of a great void.
