Sometimes observations/conclusions are in error. Sometimes it's theory that has a glitch. One of them must be wrong!
Note that the above image is a Hubble WFPC2 image. The Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 is comprised of 4 separate cameras. One of them records a magnified image for details. This image must be resized to match the other 3 images for the final image. See this link for the illustrations and details.
As I write this, locations in Alaska should be experiencing the partial solar eclipse right NOW. Hope you enjoyed it, RightWhale!
