The basic concept uses occultation and a baffle system to achieve the light rejection levels necessary to provide wide-angle views of the heliosphere.

As said on the first page of this thread, it's lens flare caused as a bright object, such as Jupiter, passes out of the FOV.

You're right though, strictly speaking it is not a lens flare. It is the result of the baffle system.

It takes all the fun out of speculation. ATS is supposed to be fun you know?

Several people have brought up that Elenin has split and/or disintegrated. Maybe I was assuming that it was in the video shown too.
