strange soho pic

sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov... Just what is that thing it seems to have a trail is it a glitch anybody?

It's nibiru, nothing to worry about.

Seriously though, which bit are you talking about?

The big bird shape coming from suns direction

Nice find.

Sorry for sounding like a sceptic.

I think it might be some kind of astroid made up of ice, they tend to release quite a bit of vapour and material when heated by the sun.

here is the better resolution picture:

probably some equipment problem. Nothing strange before or after this picture..

There is time gap between each pic.That mite be why there is nothing before or after.

If you haven't checked out Soho Gallery.com yet you might want to. It's dedicated to solar anomalies. There's plenty of weird things happening around the sun. I find it most interesting.

I know what you mean i have been looking in every now and then but more seems to be happening now.

And this one from 26th

I agree. Probably a strong cosmic ray strike on the detector. There's a high amount of other ray strikes in that image and neighboring images. Also, C2 images taken just minutes before and after don't show anything coming or going:

That one is clearly random noise; the bright spot doesn't taper off at all the way a true object would if it were that over-exposed, and once again it doesn't appear in any neighboring images. A transmission error does, however.

*accidental double post, not sure how I did that.

The c2 images are not the same as the c3 images in the c3 there is a star or planet moving across the bottom but it dose not show up on the c2

reply to post by mars1


That's because C2 is a tighter field of view. This "object," however, appeared closer to the sun than the star did. In fact, it should have been in C2's field of view. Notice where the "object" is with relation to the sun's coronal jets in the C3 image and compare to the location of the coronal jets in the C2 image.

This "object" has been popping up since March, on and off.
I've saved a few pictures of it, if anyone wants to see them.

I hope this works! I'm a long-time lurker, but new to posting.

This one is from 3/27/2009





This one is from 4/19/2009

Thank you very much DaisyAnne this cannot be a glitch they all look the same but going different ways

Once again the flanking images show nothing and C2 images show nothing, despite the fact that this "object" would clearly be in the C2 field of view:

It looks like a blooming ray strike nearly perpendicular to the CCD to me.
Some other examples from years past:

For something truly unusual, see here:

The shape isn't particularly informative; it's just a reflection of SOHO's obstructed which is a result of the object being relative close to the probe. The path is what I find more curious; it isn't a straight line and it shows that the object appeared to stop at two points, which is where you can clearly see the reflected shape of SOHO's optics. The only rational explanation not involving tiny alien probes that I can think of is that it was a piece of debris that became dislodged during a small spacecraft manuever during an exposure and the path taken is actually from the motion of SOHO itself, not the particle.

Whats a ray strike look like has it got that type of trail.Im not that good with this stuff just want to know when i see something strange i can find out what it is thats why i love this site.
