While scientists don't think it's a comet, they're not exactly sure of the precise origin of the incredible object soaring some 90 million miles from Earth, snapped just a few weeks ago by the Hubble Space Telescope.
"I've seen thousands of astronomical images over my career, but this is one of the few absolute jaw-droppers: A flying X-pattern with trailing streamers," said Ray Villard, a contributing writer to Discovery News. "Whatever it is, nothing quite like it has ever before been seen in the heavens."
Even the experts who study celestial phenomena seem somewhat perplexed.
"We're still trying to really figure out what it is," University of Arizona planetary scientist Jim Scotti told National Geographic. Scotti is on a team observing the object from the Kitt Peak National Observatory outside Tucson.

And in the dumbassedness of stupidity category:
Some think the mysterious space object has a shape similar to that of a gunship depicted in the 1984 movie, "The Last Starfighter."
At 90 million miles away, that's one big frigging gunship.

Probably wouldn’t want to piss them off in a space battle.

load “murmuration of starlings” into YouTube, there are some beautiful videos of this autumn event.
To: Firefigher NC
This is my favorite photo from the Hubble taken around last Easter. They call it the Crown of Thorns.
