The images above are shown in the order of the relative positions of the three viewpoints, Behind, Earth, and Ahead. For the Heliospheric Imager (HI) images below, the order is reversed to reflect the fact that the HI Ahead telescopes look to the left of the Sun, and those on Behind look to the right. Also, the HI images are not rotated to put solar north up.

The obfuscation basically limits the layman's ability to conceive our place in the universe (big claim, I know, but will hopefully address it further in next post after this one) - the relationships between other bodies in the solar system and the imagery presented are very hard to mentally tie together into a coherent 3D visual-imagination model.
I thought that only the sun or a similar star would issue plasma flares (or the term may be CME, coronal mass ejections; forgive my basic knowledge of astronomy - I want a skeptic's perspective on this)..?
'The Brown Dwarf Object', the apparent location of ELENIN, Jupiter and Saturn, Mercury and Venus across the dates in question (now - October), and it seemed to me that this thing really could be the object being described in the following video, posted yesterday by the same Youtube poster
In that video above he describes the apparent 'brown dwarf' with several planets orbiting, heading on a trajectory that will bring it to a position between Mars and Earth sometime in October. Basically on the same orbital path as the ELENIN comet, but coming inbound from the opposite side of the sun, on a retrograde orbit, currently in front of the constellation Leo, moving across Orion in the next couple of months...
So - as far as I can tell (unless my brain is frazzled from sifting through dodgily-presented Youtube videos), the first video I've linked at the top of this post, when taken in light of the video posted yesterday, shows that a large body, possibly a brown dwarf ejecting plasma, is coming on retrograde orbital trajectory into the solar system, currently set against the backdrop of the constellation Leo, due to move along in front of Orion in the next few months, then due to pass between Mars and Earth sometime in October, causing an eclipse of Mars, before whipping on out again in front of us as we head towards where it's looped round the sun.
I am suspicious that such poor resources on the end of a Google search is a deliberate obfuscation attempt! Surely the excellent resources I crave are out there; if so, why the Hell won't Google make it easier for people to understand their position in this great and wondrous universe of ours?
Links to sites - while appreciated - won't answer the question of WHY it is so damn hard to get basic diagrams showing useful astronomical relationships on a Google search. As you can see I have reasonable capability to write and phrase things well, so it seems very odd that barely any of my search parameters returned anything useable. In fact, the first page of images included a damn cartoon smiley for crying out loud; I'd written "Orbital trajectories of STEREO satellites" (or something like that).. at Google, those obfuscating mofo's. Heck, I should have expected it really, considering the shambolic presentation of Antarctica on Google Earth in comparison to the USGS data...
The Youtube user whose videos I posted has another video (will dig it out) in which he claims that JPLs simulator has Jupiter (and possibly more planets) completely in the wrong position.
He also draws attention to the 'Betelgeuse may go supernova' story, released in recent days - Betelgeuse is located in the constellation Orion (conveniently) - approximately where the 'brown dwarf heading inbound' might start to become very visible as more than a mere 'sun-dog'...
Are these agencies all collaborating to stop us from gaining a clear understanding of what is where and when it's there?
Did I just confuse the hell out of everyone?
M'eh. It's bloody late and I'm going to get some sleep. I'll pack my bug-out-bag tomorrow...

Originally posted by FlyInTheOintmentI've seen the second vid linked further down in another thread but it got caught up in arguments about which Youtube user posted it - the actual merits of the two videos together weren't being discussed - in fact I haven't seen the latest video on another thread yet. Please read my thoughts and comment accordingly if you have the relevant knowledge & experience to answer, as I feel I may have something to add, particularly regarding the orientation of STEREO B, which concerns tactical obfuscation by certain agencies including NASA, JPL (who apparently put some planets in the wrong places in their simulator) and Google (!!)
Even in tornado season, that's a bit of a waste of time. Trot out and pack a nice book on constellations and the night sky (get a basic one from a used book store) and grab a pair of cheap binoculars and have some fun and learn some REAL astronomy.
