Hubble detects spaceship-shaped object

[Jabba]

I found this article showing the discovery of a 'spaceship-shaped object' which is said to be the product of a collision of two asteroids... but lets pretend it 'really' is a spaceship ;) -

We don't need to pretend they are late I called for them years ago about time they got here

It definitely looks like the Enterprise. Remember the episode when they came back to save a whale or something. That must be it. It has probably returned to the future now.

Hmm that explains the crop circle I found on my front lawn last week. I thought it was lawn beetles.

No look up in the sky
Is it a bird
Is it a plane
No it's Superman
faster than a speeding bullet
more powerful than a locomotive
able to leap tall building in a single bound
who disguised as Clark Kent
a mild mannered reporter for the daily newspaper
fights a never ending battle for
truth justice and the American way

It has been designated as comet P/2010 A2 LINEAR but there is a lot of confusion over what exactly this thing is!
The Hubble didn't "discover" the comet, the X-shaped feature is a mystery but when it was discovered by LINEAR there was a lot of talk on comets-ml about what the "head-less" comet was.
I didn't know the Hubble was used to image it, obviously it's intrigue will last for a while!

Klingon Bird of Prey!!!!! and it was a movie called the voyage home! and it looks more like a klingon bird of prey than the enterprise

[Outbackmanyep]

To all you Trekkie fans, it actually looks like a side-on "B-Wing" fighter from Star Wars! :P

The Universe is a wonderful place.

There's always something new and unusual being discovered to keep us intrigued.

I,ll say its just a piece of rock flying through space.

The quote from the movie deep impact is where you going little fella.

Cheers Kev.
