Brownish Sphere in M37

There is a brownish sphere east of center using the WWT on M37. There also seems to be some bubbling to the left of that object. Lensatic anomalies?

Looks like a dust cloud.

Something sticking out of the right side looks like a cloud. Then again, maybe gravity is capturing it, such as gravitational attraction to the larger mass. Or maybe it is a part of the cloud that is being pushed out by something.

The brownish sphere looks fairly dense, and blocks the light behind it.

Lol, it sounds interesting. How do you know all this? Give me a link ...
 
Type in M37 in Search using Microsoft World Wide Telescope. Right in the center appears something that looks like a hole. Can't miss it. It's huge.

I don't see it? M37 right?

I see it in your picture. Its black and obsecures light from other objects.

I haven't looked at the pictures yet. Could the brownish sphere be something like a brown dwarf, or even a comet?
 
There is a large object at the very edge of the solar system, at least as massive as Jupiter. This is known because of perterbations of the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. Such an object could be a very massive gas giant or even a brown dwarf twin star to Sol. Brown dwarfs are typically 10 or more Jupiter masses.
 
there appears to be a corona effect (pry wrong word) (the one that makes the star have points, top,bottom,left,right of star) on two of the stars..

they line up pretty close to cause a hole illusion..

but i like the duck..
