Blue blob

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 70.55.84.253 (talk) at 12:43, 2 March 2008 (remove nonsense - either they emit or reflect blue, they cannot be blue because they are ultraviolet???). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Blue blobs are clusters of stars outside galaxies that are possibly formed from gas collisions and subsequent turbulence. On January 2008, the Hubble space telescope detected these clusters among three colliding galaxies. [1]
