Scientists say the discovery of a vast hole in space may provide a new glimpse at the end of the star-forming process. In this photo, an image obtained from the Herschel Space Observatory shows most the cloud associated with the Rosette nebula, a stellar nursery about 5,000 light-years from Earth in the Monoceros, or Unicorn, constellation.

NGC 1999 is the green tinged cloud towards the top of the image. The dark spot to the right was thought to be a cloud of dense dust and gas until Herschel looked at it. It is in fact a hole that has been blown in the side of NGC 1999 by the jets and winds of gas from the young stellar objects in this region of space. This image combines Herschel PACS 70 and 160 micron data, and 1.6 and 2.2 micron data with the NEWFIRM camera on the Kitt Peak 4 meter.

Why do we call such a violent place, "The Heavens"?

So someone ignored the obvious?

Looks like a hole but can't be it does not fit the model?

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and a hole is just a hole.

There are a lot of a holes in Washington DC. And all have blown a lot of gas around the country.
