Object # 588017604139352112

Our second day doing galaxy analysis on Galaxy Zoo produced another interesting result. (Yesterday, Edd replied to us by saying that yesterday's find was a "bright star" - its light is so intense that the camera is overwhelmed by the radiation. You can view Edd's comments at http://newsandinfofilter.blogspot.com/2008/08/galaxyobject-58858801762721923075001762.html ).

Today we found Object # 588017604139352112. We don't quite know what this is...is it a star factory that was reported about a month ago on the internet? (See the story: Rare 'Star-Making Machine' Found In Distant Universe.) We're hoping we can find out. If you want a copy of this image, contact us here and perhaps we can email it to you.
