It's not easy being green....Hubble is investigating Hanny's Voorwerp (Hanny's Object in Dutch)...
"... the only visible part of a 300,000-light-year-long streamer of gas stretching around the galaxy, called IC 2947. The greenish Voorwerp is visible because a beam of light from the galaxy's core illuminated it. This beam came from a quasar--a bright, energetic object powered by a black hole. The quasar may have turned off about 200,000 years ago..."
