please elaborate - not even a one line thread

Looks like someone just playing with around with a camera to me, what is it you think we are meant to be seeing there ?????????

it is an image unedited off the SOHO sun viewer site. From a phtography perspective it appears like a lens flare.

go to

mm.has anyone seen this GIF image?

sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov...

...that is just weird....at the beggining

It's not lens flare/ghosting, and it could not be a physical object, or it would be many times larger than the Sun (assuming it's the same distance as the Sun).

It's probably just an artifact, ie something generated by the camera-lens system, although there's always a chance it could be space-junk close to the camera.

You can't expect every photograph to turn out 'perfect'. From time to time there are 'glitches'. That is to be expected. Any solid-physical objects worth investigating would appear in multiple frames. Single frames like this are more or less useless.

ok thats fair but what about this, 2 esperate cameras 2 seperate distances 2 seperate angles...

That one is probably a hit from a high-energy particle. Streaks like this are quite common, especially during a large solar flare which can cause a 'proton-event'. Even if the Sun itself is quiet, high-energy particles (cosmic rays/gamma rays) will hit the detector from time to time.

As I said before, without successive frames showing an object, it's highly unlikely to be a physical object.

If you are just looking for 'glitches', OK, fine, but it's not going to prove anything, and without someone who is very familiar with the detector used, some of these glitches could be hard to explain - although that does not mean they are anything necessarily unusual (like a 'UFO').
