Is that a smashed comet or an X-Wing fighter? Scientists are offering up their own theories as to what created the striking star-inspired image, which was captured by NASA's Hubble telescope in January. The object - dubbed “P/2010 A2” after it was discovered in early January by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research program sky survey - has traits similar to a comet, but the x-shape appears disconnected from the tail. Sci-fi lovers may instead go for a more fantastical theory, believing it to be the "Last Starfighter" or, perhaps, a Kilrathi dreadnought from the Wing Commander video game. .... http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id...:hubble-telescope-captures-image-of-mysterious-x-shaped-object-in-space&catid=30:the-community&Itemid=51

I don't think it's X shaped at all to be honest... the illusion given off by the gasses makes it appear X shaped to some.. but to me it looks like a lump of rock... nothing else.
