WTH is next to the Sun ~ Its HUGE

Wouldn't the image be perfectly circular and not have any chunks out of the side of it? And not a small circle in the middle with a mostly formed outside around it? Bokeh would look like this o or a completely filled in circle. I still say the opinion is out on this until we can see other examples of similar "artifacts" that can produce this effect, this does not look like any thing I have seen before that is known.

I believe there have been posts with links in this thread that show polygonal bokeh and explain them. Photographers exploit it for effects in photos.

concerning that, what is written about this suggests that it could be a catadioptric lens bokeh effect rather than polygonal which would produce a donut shaped blur from a point of light.

i don't think it is that either as this would be something uniformly seen due to the lens, from whatever point of light was at the right magnitude to create the effect. in other words... you have an image full of light, why are there not donuts all over it? doesn't make sense.

this is more than likely, imo, a reflection of the entire image and then duplicated once more less opaque... something to do with the telescope, yes... but since the entire image has light all over it... to think it was merely a blurring effect of the lens would suggest that we should be seeing a multitude of donuts or polygons.

we see two, one being more transparent than the other because it is a reflection of the first faulty reflection. a duplication of the first glare.

So... what are these "bokehs" everybody keeps talking about? I have never heard this term before.

I think it could involve perhaps an internal reflection in the telescope.

If it were an internal reflection it's difficult to explain why it suddenly appeared on May 2.

There are, a number of them. The background subtraction software (which makes details of the corona more visible) subtracts them from the images seen here because they remain stationary in the frame. Just as this one will be when the next background mask is applied.

Here is a raw, unprocessed image. I've adjusted the contrast a bit.

I know one thing, the CME's as of late from the Sun have been playing absolute havoc with long range HF communications. This is supposed to be Cycle 24 for us Amateur Radio Operators and so far it's fallen quite short of it's expectations.

Here's a great website that I use for determining solar propagation forecasts, some of you folks might be interested.

Reminds me of my dad who told about one of his scams.

He placed an ad where people could send him 100 DKR and in turn they would receive instructions on how to get rich.

For those who replied he sent a letter with a note in it: "Do as I do".

Apparently I'm just a huge nerd because the first thing that went through my mind was "OH my...Saiyans."

people would fall for that? which country u r from

can anyone proof one of this claim at least by showing me link from nasa or some space organization?

that's true, but then again any reflections should have been eliminated anyway by the equipment itself.

I'm pretty sure multiple filters of different types are being used here. One is obviously in the center and is likely never removed or altered and a permanent part of the scope itself because that much light through the equipment could damage it I would think, but what if other parts of the equipment and application have some sort of maintenance processes at certain times or what if quite frankly... somebody messed up. Or what if something malfunctioned in the applications but it was rectified shortly thereafter.

I just think it is very strange that if you think about what the object looks like... it is what you would see if the light was coming in minus the colored filtering to see the flares better. I mean without those applications, but still with the permanent center filter... you would see a tunnel of light with a black center. the light around the sun would naturally be much brighter than it appears here...so it would fill up the entire scope, forming nearly a perfect circle with a black center from the permanent black filter.

It's too much of a coincidence... and then it is repeated once again laterally. Exactly laterally.

To me, it still says reflection. Some partially unfiltered reflection that temporarily occurred due to some mistake or flaw in one of the applications and shortly rectified thereafter explaining why it is not constantly seen. It was NEVER supposed to have been there.

it look like something there colecting energy directly from sun if it is an alian space ship running on suns energy that would explain low amounts of radiation people receve after a direct contact with ufo 3 world war might b over sun just my thought

... The term 'dimension' is incorrect. These planes are separated by a barrier that is caused by the Speed of vibratory rate of the Atomic structure. This is seen in the element Iridium, which when heated to 850F, speeds up & blinks out of sight within a test tube. When it cools down again, it shows back up. It did not evaporate or alter state, it moved through that barrier but stayed in the same location. We've known that for some time.

Which is why it is said "Those Above may see Below, but those Below may not see Above". We use examples in explanations such as Energy Waves--radio signals--each overlaying the other and all existing together but separated by different Vibrational Rates of speed.
.....

. We used to have pictorial images of the Exit Gate of Man & the Entrance Gate of God. It is on the degree lines which are doorways through the barrier. That's why ships 'blink' in and out. They are altering their Vibration--

yellowrose- Your description of vibration and the barriers make so much sense to me! Thank you. Can you elaborate further? I'm also intrigued about the images of the Gates. Is there anyway to retrieve those? Would love to see them. Apologies-- don't mean to hijack the thread (unable to send pm's), please carry on everyone.

i don't buy the dust particle one AT ALL. for one thing since when have dust particles been circular with a hole in the middle, and if it was it'd be there all the time, or at least somewhere on the lens.

i don't know what it is, but my belief is that its more likely to be something we can't explain yet, rather than something we can.

A dust particle that is on the lens will appear out of focus which can make it look circular. It happens to me when I don't clean my camera lenses.

I can also see this being a lens flair which would explain why it was not there all the time.

Bokeh is a photography term that refers to the blur of an object or portion of a photo.
