Looks like Hubble has found some interesting stars in the our neighboring galaxy, M31, or known better to most (okay, maybe not most ) the Andromeda galaxy. What makes them so interesting is that they are at center of the galaxy orbiting a super massive black hole. How does such young stars form in that kind of hostile environment?

“Seeing these stars is like watching a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat. You know it happened but you don’t know how it happened,” said Tod Lauer of the National Optical Astronomy Observatory in Tucson, Arizona.

Mmm, maybe I have the answer:

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; {He made} the stars also. Genesis 1:14-16

Boy, that was easy to explain. I should be working at NOAO to help the poor lads out.
