What is the light source for the photo? Where is it located? The light source is apparently NOT on/next to the camera - why not? It actually looks like there are MULTIPLE light sources, or directions! Why no explanation for 2 small bluish streaks (one is quite faint) and another 2 "lights" seen off the lander (one is quite small)? Can you show a pic of the lander that shows EVERYTHING shown in the pic? Other pix of the lander do NOT show the red & white striped thingy, which btw I do not believe was not identified in the article. WTH. You all want us to believe this is real yet leave us with more questions than we had before!

The light source is likely the Sun, and any additional is likely sunlight reflected from parts of the spacecraft. Streaks may be camera artifacts, the larger spot is probably the tip of something on the spacecraft, the remainder of that in shadow. The faint white spot may be a star. -

Also the anomaly was probably a rupture of a propellant tank, which would expose materials (eg insulation) that were not exposed before.
