Observatory star-gazers along with others throughout the world last night trained their telescopes and sky-cameras on the heavens' latest mystery--a peculiar object in the constellation Cetus.
Discovered only yesterday morning by Polish astronomer Kwlek of the Poznan Observatory, the strange object is believed to be an unusual asteroid or small planet similar to the Delporte object which last spring set the astronomical world agog with its close approach to earth.
Thus far astronomers have determined its brightness to be of the ninth magnitude, just beyond sight of the naked eye, have charted its position and the comparatively rapid rate at which it moves across the heavens.
