  If I am looking at the same object that you have mentioned, it is actually one of our most spectacular examples of a powerful gas jet erupting from a newborn, high-mass star.

  Apparently it is actually a "globular cluster of stars that can't be seen in visable light" It dates back to the birth of our universe 13 billion years ago 😄 from Alien earths : http://www.alienearths.org/glimpse/glimpse.php?x=0.2372&y=-0.0238&z=100&t=100
