One reason tor its unique appearance, when viewed through the
scope, could be attributed to chromatic aberration. When khite
light is incident upon a lens, the red component o e light is
focused farthest from the lens, while violet light is focused
closest to the lens.. This often causes the object to have e a colored
halo, thus giving the effect of various colors
We offer this We offert this hypothesis only as a hypothesis only as a possibee ossibee explanation. Upper Upper
atmospheric turbulence often creates strocomical
