Two new, bizarre discoveries were found on WikiSky by intrepid UFO hunter Rick Krejci, a diligent researcher with a real shot at having a heavenly object named after him, a first for web-based sky watchers.
The results, a "ring of fire" and a double-tailed comet, have been posted on a video to YouTube, along with co-ordinates, which should help to make independent corroboration easier, a crucial component for new discoveries.
Deep space sky watching is a relatively new hobby turning into a viable field of study now that online publishers, like Google Earth and now WikiSky, have made their results available for download to the general public.
