What is 'the job' you'd be referring to. Also tell us what space agency has done more and provides more data of space exploration than NASA. We'll be waiting for the scintillating answer to that.

Giottos (€11.90) large black Super Rocket Air Blower easily removes dust and debris from cameras, lenses and filters with a powerful hand-squeeze for its burst of air pressure. Includes a one-way valve to prevent Blaster from breathing in dust and spreading it back to your equipment - www.getaddictedto.com...

It is not.....
NASA lies badly......
What?
The light from the Sun hits the sensor and the fiber upon it at the same time.

the designer needs to be fired in that case as he clearly hasnt done his job correctly or the guys who built it

I picture you typing that out whilst staring longingly at an autographed framed picture of the cast of Stargate SG-1, as a cat purrs on your lap and another sits atop your monitor.
Am I close?

Yes.
And that ship carefully keeps station such that it appears in the same location in all of the images from a spacecraft which is moving around the Sun and rotates about its own axis. And it manages to do that while avoiding being seen by any other spacecraft or Earthbound telescopes.

Let's be frank , if this has been stated metaphorically shoot me down... but if said spectacle was a solid object in space , it would be illuminated on the side facing the sun and clearly be visible. Also judging from the picture an object of that mass would be a more rounded body.
My two pence as it were.

Sure fire him.
And fire the guy who messed up on the Hubble telescope too!
Thank you for your consideration.

Most likely, so NASA doesn't know for sure... and this spaceship has been up there a very long time and this fiber just appears now.
No.
It's been there since first light.

Right. Never mind that it has been discussed for several years right here.
Rather than remove it from the current images, they went back through thousands of previous images and added it.
That makes loads of sense.

I'm picturing the NASA guys who built the craft reading this thread and I am truly embarrassed.
"Hey guys, when we finish putting together this SSD array that 99.999999% of people couldn't comprehend we should go for a few beers and read some more ATS posts for a really good laugh."

Where is your imagination and open mind? Mysteries abound all around us, it does not have to be the mundane explanation!
