Orbital Research - The Star that Never Was

In orbit around protostar J141109.34-045744.1, the research vessel cRPG-Huckleseed is gathering information and samples for future research purposes. The protostar, or the "star that never was" had the misfortune of being too close to one of its nursery mates while forming in the M872627 Nebulae seen at the upper right of the image. The resulting wave of energy was enough to push into into a steep fall into the gravity well of another large star and was then slingshot out into space. It's destiny as a star was foiled for the near foreseeable future. 

Inspired by Interstellar I saw last weekend. An inspiring idea and worth the watch.
