Is this incredible thing in heavens a sign from God?

While scientists don't think it's a comet, they're not exactly sure of the precise origin of the incredible object soaring some 90 million miles from Earth, snapped just a few weeks ago by the Hubble Space Telescope.

"I've seen thousands of astronomical images over my career, but this is one of the few absolute jaw-droppers: A flying X-pattern with trailing streamers," said Ray Villard, a contributing writer to Discovery News. "Whatever it is, nothing quite like it has ever before been seen in the heavens."

Even the experts who study celestial phenomena seem somewhat perplexed.

"We're still trying to really figure out what it is," University of Arizona planetary scientist Jim Scotti told National Geographic. Scotti is on a team observing the object from the Kitt Peak National Observatory outside Tucson.

Thanks GeronL! So far, three different takes on the same critter:

• Collision in the Asteroid Belt?
• Researchers claim UFO spotted by Hubble telescope is ET technology

I think its a broken up comet, its probably a thousand miles across

That’s freaking Rodan, fresh off his asskicking of Gamera.

Male bovine feces. This was explained weeks ago as an asteroid that had been hit by another. Yes, it's spectacular, but it's not a "sign" by any means.
