Voorwerpjes in Space
Hanny's Voorwerp, Dutch for 'Hanny's Object,' is an enormous cloud of gas about the size of the Milky Way galaxy. It glows strongly in the greenish light of ionized oxygen. Scientists believe it is a tidal tail of material illuminated by a quasar in the nearby spiral galaxy IC 2497.
