“SECCO1, also known as AGC 226067, was one of the very unusual blue
blobs,” said Dr. Michael Jones, a postdoctoral researcher.
Using data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, NSF’s Karl G.
Jansky Very Large Array and ESO’s Very Large Telescope, Dr. Jones and
colleagues detected five blue stellar systems within the Virgo galaxy
cluster.
They found that these structures contain blue stars,
which are distributed in an irregular pattern and seem to exist in
surprising isolation from any potential parent galaxy.
The five systems are separated from any potential parent galaxies by
over 300,000 light-years in some cases, making it challenging to
identify their origins.
*The researchers also learned that the systems contain very little atomic hydrogen gas.
*This is significant because star formation begins with atomic
hydrogen gas, which eventually evolves into dense clouds of molecular
hydrogen gas before forming into stars."

1) Could it be they have NO parent galaxy because they were created as is?
2) Maybe their "origins" are not challenging to identify. Maybe it's a simple as - When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; Psalm 8:3
