One of the strangest space objects in space has been scrutinized by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in a study led by a University of Alabama astronomer. The mysterious, glowing green blob of gas is floating near spiral galaxy IC 2497. The object, Hanny's Voorwerp (or Hanny's object in Dutch), was named for Hanny van Arkel, the Dutch school teacher who discovered the ghostly structure in 2007 while participating in the online Galaxy Zoo project. Hubble uncovered delicate filaments of gas and a pocket of young star clusters in the giant object, which to some looks like a flying green frog.
