Green Blob in Space

The green blob in space that the Hubble captured seems to be interesting. It shows that there is activity inside the blob; new stars are forming. What is actually happening is that the pressure from collapsing (and condensing) hydrogen inside the blob is creating new stars. The stars aren’t part of an existing galaxy, though. The fact that there is a black hole powering the quasar (a bright object full of energy) and the fact that every (or at least the Milky Way) galaxy revolves around a powerful black hole leads me to believe that a new galaxy is being born. Every galaxy might have started out as a blob, and it makes sense too. The Big Bang could have scattered hydrogen blobs across the universe that eventually formed new galaxies. With a little bit of digging into the facts, who knows? My hypothesis could hold true.
