What "Popped" out behind the Sun...???

it is big but haven't nasa got the pics under comets now!!

great pics though

How do you embed the pics and the videos? Anyone?
Meteors do not change directions and they do not look like massive cigars.....do they?

I use

imageshack.us...

to upload images. There you also get the "codes" for imbedding.

Anything fit the discription?

I've been watching SOHO and spaceweather.com for quite awhile, and you can see (or think you see) all kinds of funky stuff.

Here is the most recent video, spanning 5/1 to current image:

sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov...

One thing that's hard to realize is that you are seeing specs of varying colors without any regards to depth. If you notice in the video there are dots that go in a straight line fashion (usually stars) there are dots/streaks that angle towards the sun (comets/meteors) and there are lots of specks/flecks of brightness that can appear on images. The first two are generally going at least partially ACROSS the view of SOHO (i.e. left to right in front of you or up and down in front of you). Most of the specks/flecks you see are coming AT you (don't forget this isn't a digital camera). As SOHO is pointed at the sun, you will constantly get data/noise flying "at" you.

Here's another SOHO image, this from 7/14/2000:

science.nasa.gov...

Notice how the image gets "fuzzy"? That's because the flare, aimed at SOHO, causes an overload of its sensors. On an individual frame of the video you could see UFOs, a hot dog stand, etc. but it's just the way the noise hit at that point in time.

I guess to sum up, IMO, looking at individual frames of SOHO would not be an accurate way to determine a solid object in orbit or in transit near the sun. The videos are ever so slightly better at this (since noise is very rarely uniform from frame to frame).

check these links out in sequence. Massive rod top right changes direction and heads away from sun!!!!

Sorry bout doing this the long way i cant embed the fing video
sorry. The dates are stamped at bottom

That is not a "massive rod". It is a cosmic ray strike on the camera sensor.

2) cosmic ray noise

Cosmic rays are very high energy particles which come from a variety of sources (e.g. solar flares, supernovae). They are of interest to lots of astronomers, but mostly just noise for us. We see lots of them in every image and occasionally, 3 or 4 of them hit the CCD in just the right places in consecutive images to fool us into believing there is a real object there. The cosmic rays can show up as points or as streaks. (helios.gsfc.nasa.gov...). Click on the image below to see typical examples of cosmic rays visible in LASCO images.

Im sorry for trashung your thread but theres loads and im having a mare but i will continue to add.

Righto then so what are these then? Mothership and fleet???

You cant seriously think that these are not vehicles of some sort

someone .....what are they? And what is the object that has smaller ones which are in the ones that ive posted from lascoc3?

The last LASCO C3 image i can get is timestamped 22:18, but the link you provided is timestamped 00:42...??? also 11 min after your post...???

The link you provided looks like a planet, but as i said...i'm no astronomer..

Yeah too me it looked like a planet as well. But some experts will say it is another "noise" effect or something.

The streaks looked like cosmic ray artifacts to me as well. I was waiting for someone else to point that out first. Thanks Phage.

You may want to check this one out in particular. I downloaded it and looked closer. This is not anything at all???
Yeah right!!!!
