I found something strange in deep space

I'm looking over star clusters when I see this : Images

I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm hoping the more educated ATS members can give their take on it. If this has been found before I plead ignorance.

I have no idea what it is. It looks to be a flaming demon face.....

Some kind of ribbon or energy field i'd wager, see the way it curves up near the center. Perhaps its some kind of space based lifeform...or a neat cosmic effect.

id say its a really big chinese lantern

Interesting. The center looks like it has 4 quadrants that are transparent ?

Starship with windows!

Can you provide any details as to the location, like a constellation or a date and time and locale, something besides just a big blob?

a reply to: soulpowertothendegree

I believe this is the name of the constellation: [RPS97] NGC 891 2

It most likely belongs to the life forms that inhabit the planets that surround it.

Are suggesting you already know what it is? Are you telling me the name of a galaxy? Whatever it is I will only be able to help you if you are really serious about this if you give me pertinent information. Whatever those numbers and letters are they do not come up in my search on stellarium. So, tell me where in the sky specifically did you supposedly see this in deep deep deep space!

It kind of looks like gum on asphalt.

The Juicy Fruit Nebula cluster?
