I was looking around in Google Sky (part of Google Earth), and I found a strange looking something at location -32.3087, 159.717 . I can't figure out whether it's an actual stellar object or just an error with the camera. If anyone know where I could find out what this is, I'd appreciate it. My curiosity is getting the better of me.

I should clarify, it's up in the sky, out in space. Google Sky.

There is an island right nearby there called Lord Howe Island, is that what you're seeing perhaps?

The McNaught comet has been traveling through our solar system recently. Perhaps this is what you saw!
