Many objects fly in front of LASCO 3...

would be my guess. The background stars don't move, so it's not the camera moving. A patch of debris??

I promise I won't say it's an invasion fleet

Not all the streaks are parallel either....

Thoughts?

WOW!! I have no idea what that is. Well, maybe. Could it be a meteor getting torn apart by the gravity from the Earth/Sun? That's honestly the only thing I can think of right now. Hopefully someone will come along with an explanation. S&F Good catch.

Photons/Cosmic Ray hits on the satellite's CCD.

Er...Fleet of UFO's!

Hmm...

Yeah, I'm gonna go with the first one.

Read this.

I saw a bright looking star thing moving around in the sky slowly tonight, then it just disappeared (light turned off), probably just a helicopter or a drone of some kind, but it just looked like a dot.

but photons etc don't "turn" as the one streak is doing.

if they were from the same source / flare / burst, they would be parallel

and why would photons / comic rays only show up briefly here and there?

did the shutter stick open a moment too long? looks like an over exposure to me...

I have no idea what that is, but I do find it interesting that the time between each frame is 12 minutes.

Sure they can.

A thing called gravity can do this. Not sure if that's what we're seeing though.

Think for a minute, in our universe, how many sources there are in different locations that emit photons? Plenty of different trajectories.

May have to wait for someone more knowledgeable than I on this, but they do a process called a CCD Bakeout every now & then to fix the artifacts seen in the 2nd pic in the OP. In all likelihood the 3rd pic was taken after one of these.

Someone please correct me if I've stated anything false.

if there was enough gravity there to turn that one photon as visibly as it is, both a) the other particles would be effected, and b) i think we'd have bigger problems to worry about....like a giant black hole nearby

Have a look at the 25th. What the heck went on then?! Just amazing. I could watch this thing all the time...

Look, I don't have a problem with you calling that bad boy a GFL light-ship on the way to the Orion Nebula if ya want holmes. Really dunno what that oddball could be.

Obviously my sole intention here's only to rain on your parade or spread dis-info. Take your pick.

If you don't buy all that mumbo-jumbo CCD artifact blabber I stated above...simply disregard it.

Post us up a image of what you're talking about on the 25th if you care to.

reply to post by CosmicEgg


yeah, it is quite amazing! The times we live in are quite astonishing

reply to post by susp3kt


i am just having a civilized discussion, and appreciate your input

i addressed the gravity claim, and disagree

and yes, i am quite clear on photons etc and how many sources expel them, that's why these streaks should be present most of the time if that is in fact what they are.

also, the "bake out" puts soho offline, not what we are seeing here

reply to post by susp3kt


Think about what you're saying...the one or two streaks are 'photons being bent by gravity'..and not the rest of the photons?

That is some *very* local gravitation effects!

All the streaks (if photons) would be being bent/curved if gravity (from where?) was the cause, not just one or two.

Not photons, and not photons being 'bent' by gravity.

These space observatories 'see' photons all the time...it's what makes up visible light. Photons are tiny, massless particles, they don't show up as large streaks and lines.

Probably a meteor shower passing in front..the curved meteors might be small collisions that change direction of the rocks/grains.

Don't mean to come off as rash.

Let's wait & see what someone more in the know than I has to say about it.

I didn't say that 'one or two streaks' were 'photons being bent by gravity'. I proposed that all the streaks were cosmic rays, some of which are indeed photons, striking the CCD.

Dunno about your meteor theory spikey. For those to be meteors w/ tails & all, the satellite would have had to have taken that shot from within our atmosphere for the tails to be visible.

I'm still thinking we're seeing cosmic rays or solar wind/charged particles.

A stream of solar wind flowing from this coronal hole is expected to reach Earth on April 30th-May 1st.

Check out this animation.

Arriving earlier than forecasted, from this event maybe?

this is how comets looks like :

Google is your friend hiney. Act like you know.
