Hi Gerry and welcome to IIS
Love your piccies...really colourful
That bright "blob" is actually a globular cluster (basically a big ball of stars) called Omega Centauri (NGC5139). It consists of several million stars and weighs in at 5 million times the mass of the Sun. It's around 15800 light years away (that's 94800 trillion miles!!!!). Means you're going to have to carry a few spare jerry cans of fuel to keep the car going!!!!.
