VERY STRANGE OBJECT FOUND AT THE EDGE OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM - Bizarre!
A very strange object indeed and with a weird rotation to boot.
Could it be a disabled alien ship?

Spinning hourglass object may be the first of many to be discovered in the Kuiper belt


Strangeobject

The bizarre, hourglass-shaped Kuiper belt object 2001QG298 spins round like a propeller as it orbits the Sun, according to an astronomer from Queens University Belfast. The discovery that the spinning object is tilted at nearly 90 degrees to the ecliptic plane is surprising, and suggests that this type of object could be very common in the Kuiper belt. The finding will be presented by Dr Pedro Lacerda at the Joint Meeting of the European Planetary Science Congress and the Division for Planetary Sciences in Nantes, France, on 3 October 2011.

Reminds me of an interview i heard a few weeks back about two objects that are going to settle in our solar system, i don't put total faith into all of what i hear and read but have an open mind to it.

It's amazing what they find out there. Makes me think of that qoute from Armageddon: "That allows us to track about three percent of the sky, and begging your pardon sir, but it's a big-ass sky."

Hopefully they will train our best space telescope on it, it should give us a much closer look at this object.
It's all about priority.



They cannot resolve it with a telescope a sit is far to far away. Pluto only appears as a dot of a few pixels even with the hubble telescope.

They gave inferred the objects shape by the oscillation of its brightness. It is just two roundish lumps of rock that under gravity have come together and become one object. However the combined gravity was not large enough to form one new spherical shape as tends to happen with any object over a few hundred (3-4 hundred) kilometers in diameter.

The article does not say the objects size. In part they cannot tell (as it cannot be resolved) without knowing how reflective it is and how bright you would expect it to be. But since it is not a sphere it is bound to be under 300 kilometers in diameter or so.

No. No aliens have been proven to exist. Any so-called alien-looking tech is our own planet's government's work.

how can they get good images of galaxies light years away from hubble yet they cant get anything other than pixels of something much closer?

Dozens of them. Armed to the teeth. I'm outnumbered. Outgunned. But the alley is crooked, dark, and very narrow. They can't surround me. Sometimes you can beat the odds with a careful choice of where to fight.
