| Aug 30, 2015 at 0:26 | comment | added | Derek | The 'forming star' is surrounded by a lot of gas and dust, and the whole thing glows. The star at the center is obviously much smaller. Planetary nebula (where such solar systems develop) can be many light years in size - ever heard of a globular cluster? whether the other 'bright dots' are stars in the foreground or background (can't tell from that photo) is up for debate. | |
| Aug 29, 2015 at 6:05 | comment | added | Andrew Thompson | @Derek "This looks more like a solar system in its early stages of development.." So what are those 'bright dots' in the foreground? Fireflies? They are too big to say they are anything but stars, and the 'forming star' that is behind them would have to be light years in width before it could appear that large to the observers. | |
| Aug 29, 2015 at 5:44 | comment | added | Derek | This looks more like a solar system in its early stages of development... the star already formed but the rest is just a giant dust/gas/rock ball that hasn't coalesced into planets yet. | |
| Aug 29, 2015 at 2:42 | comment | added | Ryan Reich | That's not a galaxy; it's an early solar system. It's just one star with some gas that hasn't yet coalesced into planets. | |

| Aug 28, 2015 at 16:55 | comment | added | Ellesedil | Could it be possible that the image is not depicting an entire galaxy, but instead a supermassive black hole that just so happens to have a lot of stars and other gases orbiting around it? | |

| Aug 28, 2015 at 12:47 | comment | added | Zorawar | I don't think it's likely they are inside of another galaxy viewing that one: for one thing stars can exist outside of a galaxy; and then you'd also expect to see lots more stars in the sky and for the pull of the two galaxies to be distorting one another... | |
