Has anyone heard of the cosmic ghost discovery???

Question

What is that all about???

Answer 1

Hanny van Arkel was poring over photos of galaxies on the Internet last August when she stumbled across a strange object in the night sky: a bright, gaseous mass with a gaping hole in its middle.Van Arkel is a 25-year-old schoolteacher in Heerlen, The Netherlands, not an astrophysicist. But her startling find -- a mysterious and unique object some observers are calling a "cosmic ghost" -- has captivated astronomers and even caught the attention of the Hubble Space Telescope, which has agreed to take a closer look next year.

Answer 2

Yes, I read something about it a few weeks ago;  They think it's left-over super-hot gas from a quasar that has stopped feeding for now.  Pretty cool, actually.
