It appears to be a data transmission error that they filled in with data from a previous point in time. Here's JPG I converted from the raw unprocessed fits file (the only alteration I made was to the histogram levels for down-conversion to an 8 bit image):

Always, always check the raw original files. Besides, the automated processing frequently does a poor job of handling the levels (note the areas that are blown-out and completely white in the OP image). You can get more detail out of the raw fits files by adjusting the levels yourself.

Your image doesn't look like the original. The locations are not the same and the size is not proportionate with the original.

Nice try.

It is a direct JPG conversion from the raw original file. Anyone can download the original and see for themselves:
