What is this?? Secchi video - fast object flying towards the sun?

reply to post by borutp


SECCHI checked. Checking NASCOM right now, which provides better imagery and larger time lapse. That's traveling pretty fast.

Nice catch OP.

Looks like a asteroid to me. One of those oblong ones.

I tried to upload the 2 frames that I took of the thingy, but they were too large.
Idk, maybe a comet?
And before the naysayers come into the sand box, I'll say that it is not a Chinese lantern, moisture or dust artifact, nor lens flare. There, I said it.

Hi borutp.

We see it well in 512 * 512, also.

It could be one of our solar system's planet,
moving in front of the background stars. . .?

The planet will be hidden behind the son, soon. . .

Blue skies.

As Dalke07 discovered (by asking), it is Comet 45P Honda-MP.

Ahh ok, thanks Phage, I missed that thread. I saw that object the other day as well, and was wondering what it was.

Now I know, thanks.

It almost looks like a beating heart floating through the sky Can someone explain to me why it looks like it's flaring by itself on a regular basis? I don't know much about this stuff I'm afraid, but I'm trying to understand, which is why I was on that site.
