>>3373507actually the shape is very important when entering systems , not only is there assloads of drag from the systems atmosphere (anything inside the oort cloud) but all the asteroids make collisions dangerous af and energy considerations will not allow you to have an ultra powerful radar and laser at the front to clear debris.
your best bet is a very sturdy probe with a small cross section which is exactly what we detected . the 7h cycle spin is probably either intentional to make it seem more natural or it was hit by a grain of sand sized dust particle at 100 km/s and is partially\fully broken.
>>3373506image is incorrect in that its not a comet.
