mystery of 1987A?

doesn't seem like a mystery to me, so much as a object being viewed at approx 30 deg angle from the centerline. Change the viewing angle and you have the central object and a shock wave ring which is expanding in both directions above and below the central object. Why isn't it a sphere? Good question.
