How is this possible?

Look at the second sprite (besides the player!)
it is 16 wide where players are supposed to be only 8 (going beyond a player´s width limit)...
But no this is not player0 adjacent player1! this is just Player1 according to Stella.
So did the developer made a trail out of Player1 just like it can be done with a missile or ball?
by the way on the second picture the same thing happens.. so
does this mean we can do a trail as big as 192 scanlines to smooth out graphics using any of the object sprites?
(players,  missiles and ball)

All objects can be shifted left/right over successive scanlines.  They can also change size between 1x, 2x, and 4x.
