Strange Space Object Stumps Astronomers; Appears to be Asteroid but Has Six Comet-Like Tails
Posted by Russell Westerholm
Astronomers have spotted a curious comet-like spatial object with the Hubble Telescope that has six trails, causing it to look like a badminton shuttlecock, BBC News reported.
The observers were lead to believe the object is an asteroid because it was spotted in an asteroid belt, but its tails are more characteristic of a comet. Asteroids also typically only appear as tiny dots of light.
"We were literally dumbfounded when we saw it," Dave Jewitt, a professor from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and lead researcher, said in a press release. "Even more amazing, its tail structures change dramatically in just 13 days as it belches out dust. That also caught us by surprise. It's hard to believe we're looking at an asteroid."

The Hubble mirror had optical problems way back when... something new developing? This image shows an early pic of a star that should be a single pinpoint of light:

I’ve seen medieval German woodcut illustrations showing something similar, what appears to be a multi-tailed comet, fearful inhabitants and destruction of buildings.

Whatever it is, it doesn’t need space scientists to figure out what it is.
