On November 7th, the Space Telescope Science Institute released observations of an asteroid, designated P/2013 P5 that showed six comet-like tails of dust radiating from it like spokes on a wheel.
These results were extremely surprising and astronomers found it hard to believe they were looking at an asteroid.
