I still dont know what this is. Do you. I was told its debris, but.......

[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/644665055eeb.jpg[/atsimg]Taken from SOHO 8/16/2009. Can anyone explain? Please

Yes, it is debris. Sometimes it is interplanetary dust. Sometimes it is material knocked off of the spacecraft itself by microasteroids.
SOHO

If you check out SOHO yourself its still there?

And the tail it makes?

reply to post by Ophiuchus 13

Yes. SOHO is still there. I don't see any debris in the recent images but here are some others.

Um sayen a spherical dust partical with a hole in the top with a tail. Debris??

Sadly just because you can't see something doesn't mean it isn't true.

Ok the last pic with the hex in it is dust as well?

It's Lindsay Lohan. www.acephotos.org...

On a more serious note, in these pictures are probably lens flares or other optical artifacts.

I agree but how is there a what seems a perfect circle with hole in top partical and hex. What particals are made like that?

Ones that are out of focus.

What do you mean a hole in the top "partical"?

Cameras on board the SOHO used for imaging are called CCDs, for Charge-Coupled Device. When cosmic rays hit a CCD, they dump their energy into a pixel, making it look very bright. Sometime, if the impact angle is low, the CR leaves a streak like the ones seen in the images posted by Phage in his post above. Sometimes at the end of the streak, it can suddenly dump lots of energy into the pixels, making what looks like a spray.

Now many claim that these are so called 'sun cruisers' or 'massive UFOs'. Or UFOs trailing exhaust gas or even firing off some kinda laser weapons!! It's nothing of the sort. But then, the 'believers' would love to believe anything!!

My first pic. If its debris or partical. What type can it be and it has a field around it. Um sayin I am all for truth and thats no prob. But these dont look like debris or particals..

reply to post by Phage


Those are all little in close with their actual size. This isnt.

reply to post by Ophiuchus 13

The images are long exposures. The debris moves. It makes a streak in the image.

I am a believer and dont wish to believe everything. But thanks.

How do you know how far the debris is from the camera?
