That video makes it look like a seagull flapping its wings.

    But more importantly, the new images are creating scientific puzzles about how such an object could even be formed.

I saw a PBS documentary called The Farthest Voyager in Space recently (about the voyager mission) and what struck me (quite obtusely) was how we really know so little, even about our immediate neighbourhood.
