Looking at recent site analytics (requires 5k reputation, details), and last month shows there were three big sites sending most of the traffic here. Not recognizing hubble.ic.kanazawa-it.ac.jp, I tried browsing there but keep getting the "Name Not Resolved" error: 

"This site can’t be reached 

hubble.ic.kanazawa-it.ac.jp’s server DNS address could not be found."

Curious if this is a legit URL?
If not, what's going on with GA to make it think it is?

Depending on responses, I'll have more questions.

    in the spirit of OD, should we publish the viewerships stats for all to see?

www.ic.kanagawa-it.ac.jp (google translate) is the Kanagawa Institute of Technology - School of Information, which is a department of a legit academic organization (wikipedia).

Maybe hubble is a computer running a student web-scraping project?

Perhaps Nicolas, who lives in Japan, can reach out to someone in the IC department, to see what is going on.
