Lots. At least there used to be. This object is 5000 light years away.
The size of these things is what amazes me. I read that the bright areas towards the center are 50 light years across. Each! It fills the entire camera frame. If I pointed my telescope at the moon, it wouldn't come close to filling the frame - maybe 1/4 or 1/3.
