What is a dangling commit and a blob in a Git repository and where do they come from?

I’m looking for the basic information on dangling commits and blobs.

My repository seems fine. But I ran git fsck for the first time to see what it did and I have a long list of ‘dangling blobs’ and a single ‘dangling commit’.

What are these things? Where did they come from? Do they indicate anything unusual (good or bad) about the state of my repository?
