'cosmic ghost' Discovered by internet surfer

This is exciting news. I can only wish to have a space discovery named after me.

What a strange discovery, to bad the Hubble won't take a look till next year.

Van Arkel is a 25-year-old schoolteacher in Heerlen, The Netherlands, not an astrophysicist. But her startling find -- a mysterious and unique object some observers are calling a "cosmic ghost" -- has captivated astronomers and even caught the attention of the Hubble Space Telescope, which has agreed to take a closer look next year.
