The position of the fiber corresponds exactly to the roll angle of the spacecraft.

OK, we've seen the one at 2 O'Clock. How about one from 8 O'Clock? That is where it should be if the spacecraft does a 180 degree roll; with the denser part of the anomaly still distal to the Sun.edit on 3/23/2012 by OldCorp because: (no reason given)

Wouldn't the fiber then always be in every picture forever unless it is removed? why does it only show sometimes?
Do you have a picture from COR2 that doesn't have the fiber in it?
Found you one, you have a valid question.

I was looking for info not giving it. I have not seen anyone mention this thing is always totaly forever in all pictures so i am wondering, is it?
Yes it has been in pictures since the launch.
This is from the same day. Do a search of 2011/08/08 on COR2 Here.
However, you raised a good point, there are some COR2 pictures if you look, that have the fiber in every other image. Not sure why this happens but it should be pointed out in the thread.

The spacecraft are rarely rolled 180º since it means the antenna is not aimed at Earth when it is done but it is occasionally done for special observations and for calibration.
