Hi All,
I received an answer from Jason Craig at JPL about that string of objects. He said, "...But it’s actually 73/P Schwassmann-Wachmann, a disintegrating comet.t." I've asked his permission to post his full reply here & will do so when he agrees.
Razvan, I think you're correct about the meaning of the white & blue dots. If you turn off the MPs, all the comets appear as white dots as do the objects in question.
