Looks like some sort of dipolar thing going on there.

isn't it mad to think there are ground based shots as good as that?

I tell ya, with the 2 comparison images in that article, the scale of HST's field of view makes me think... look at how pronounced the image of the core is, and it is at a diameter covering twice that of Earth... looks like a proper doomsday device that Holmes at the moment!
