    The project team hopes to accelerate research into this and other objects observed by releasing the data - 60 images totaling 250 megabytes - to the astronomical community now, rather than retaining it within the project team for additional research.

    They would have been within their rights to hang on to these data, instead they chose to release them in the hopes that someone else will be able to make sense out of them.
