The Hubble Space Telescope of NASA has captured images of goblin-green objects known as ephemeral quasar ghosts.

Quasar is a very luminous and compact region that surrounds a supermassive black hole at the centre of a galaxy. The Hubble observed them within eight different, distant galaxies. These unusual looped structures orbit their host galaxies and glow in a bright and eerie goblin-green hue.

According to scientists, these glowing structures have looping, helical and braided shapes and they don't fit a single pattern.

Quasars are the most active of these galaxy cores, where infalling material is heated to a point where a brilliant searchlight shines into deep space. The beam is produced by a disk of glowing, superheated gas encircling the black hole.

The child named Eli Thompson weighs 6 pounds and 8 ounces. He is born with a disorder, called complete congenital arhinia. According to the experts, the disorder is so rare that there are only 38 known reported cases of it worldwide.

Baby’s mom Brandi McGlathery told ABC News, "The day I delivered, everything went fine. At 4:42 when he was born, he came out and the doctor put him on my chest. When I took a closer look at him, I said, 'He doesn't have a nose,' and they took him out of the room”.
