Hubble has discovered a mysterious X-shaped object traveling at 11,000mph. NASA says that P/2010-A2 may be a comet, product of the collision between two asteroids. Or a Klingon Bird of Prey. Either way, UCLA investigator David Jewitt is excited:
"This is quite different from the smooth dust envelopes of normal comets. The filaments are made of dust and gravel, presumably recently thrown out of the nucleus. Some are swept back by radiation pressure from sunlight to create straight dust streaks. Embedded in the filaments are co-moving blobs of dust that likely originated from tiny unseen parent bodies."
The weirdest thing, however, is not only the prettyful X-shaped debris pattern, but the fact that its 460-foot-wide nucleus is outside the dust halo and separated from the trail. This behavior is something which has never been seen before in a comet or any other solar-system-swooshing object.
The images—taken by Hubble between January 25 and January 29—lead NASA to believe that this is a product of the collision of two asteroids. The nucleus would be the "surviving remnant of a hypervelocity collision:
"If this interpretation is correct, two small and previously unknown asteroids recently collided, creating a shower of debris that is being swept back into a tail from the collision site by the pressure of sunlight. The filamentary appearance of P/2010 A2 is different from anything seen in Hubble images of normal comets, consistent with the action of a different process."
In other words: They have no clue about what this is, and they are still speculating about how this object was formed. Maybe it's time to call Dr. Zarkov.
Thanks to gizmodo for this one.

Well here we are, I have let loose my two new blogs, one will be for all the family pic's and things and the other will be for the tech and stuff that some people will not be very interested in, so I thought I would split them up.
Here's a quick post of 20 pictures, some from southport, some from when Carolyne, Samuel and Ryan went to the zoo, we have their cousin Skye giving hugs to both the boys!! and in the garden now that the sun is coming out to play.
Well when I do have five mins spare I have found this free little gem that runs on the desktop and is great fun
Me and Samuel have started 
And part 2 of this post.
I know its been a long time since the last update, again been very, very busy so not had much time to update here, but if you are keeping an eye on my 
I know we are running up to almost a month since the last lot of pictures, but as you might see a theme running through these post " I don't have much time" :) 
I know its been a few weeks but here it is anyway, just a bit of video that we took while at Knowsley Safari Park.
Oh yes, my fav game of all time is getting a new version in about 7 months. Civilizaation V is on its way, god I have spent a lot on time over the years playing the other versions of this game.
