#Voorwerpje ?

by ElisabethB moderator

The color looks voorwerpje like but unfortunately it is an artifact. All the bright objects in this zoomed out view have a blue tail. 😄

Nope, it's an optical artifact. See the zoomed out view : http://tinyurl.com/q7ed37g

All the bright objects have a blue 'tail' ! ;D

Good catch, @ElisabethB! Before looking at the context this looks like a really interesting voorwerpje. Ah, well.

Yep ! I got a bit excited myself because it had the exact same color as a voorwerpje ! But the zoomed out image looks special too ! 😄

Hey Billy, I told you the sky was full of voorwerpjes before you posted this one 😉

I had checked the Skyserver image, LOL.
