“One possibility is that X7’s gas and dust were ejected at the moment when two stars merged,” Ciurlo said. “In this process, the merged star is hidden inside a shell of dust and gas, which might fit the description of the G objects. And the ejected gas perhaps produced X7-like objects.”
This is pretty interesting, so much ejection due to a merger that the light is no longer visible.
Space stories like this always melt my mind because this has all happened already , but we're observing it now.
