It probably won't be much of interest to the greater comunity (Black hole, posssible new class of star, gamma bubble etc). But i myself, am looking to find out what it is.

Apperetnly i read somewhere else that NASA has no idea what caused this thing.... Which is why im so interested in knowing what this is (New class of star?)
