Re: WTF is this rising in Hawaii its huge & bright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mars is my guess..

[link to www.solarsystemscope.com]

go to the night side of earth, then look at how Mars would have risen a couple of hours before the sun, and remember these cameras are VERY sensitive to light, so Mars would appear to be huge, but I'm no expert.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1909879


There is no planet in our Solar system that could ever possibly be as big & bright as that cmon thats almost another Sun!!!!!!
 Quoting: Lofty






You are incorrect!!!

Notice how little of the Earth background is lit up. Also notice this object exudes refracted light coma...

NOTICE prior to the sun coming up the whole screne is white washed and then adjusts and shows a much smaller body for the Sun but very bright.

As another poster said "these cameras are very light sensitive".

End of Doom...

Do like I said to setup Stellarium. It was the Moon.

 Quoting: BoxerLvr


That thing looks round and full. The moon is at waning crescent right now.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 941185



I just showed you it was the Moon rising at 3:30am. [link to i439.photobucket.com] If it's not the Moon, where is the Moon? LOL. Because that is exactly where the Moon should be at that time.

The Moon always looks like that on the CFHT Cloudcam. It is VERY sensitive. Again:

"If you see something unusual, keep in mind that the camera changes sensitivity dramatically throughout the night to compensate for changes in ambient light so the moon and planets can appear much brighter than we are used to seeing them."

"The camera starts taking images just before sunset and stops just after sunrise. During that time you usually see the moon rise or set as well. At this sensitivity the moonrise can be very bright and look a lot like a sunrise but if you see stars you can know it is still night-time." [link to www.cfht.hawaii.edu]
 Quoting: BoxerLvr


I'm from your future and I saw the moon last night and I assume its the same moon as yours and it was no where near full 3/4 blocked...

You were on the other thread that had this beautiful video in it and were bitching then. You do know that this is a conspiracy forum, right? I am sure since you are so unhappy with this video that you can find something else to do with your time on a Saturday afternoon. eh?

they are paid Shills, that is their job they make money debunking stuff, that is why they remain AC's
 Quoting: MONSTER


No. It just means not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy and not EVERYBODY wants to register here

It's the Moon ffs

Check Stellarium yourself. Enter location a Hawaii. Set time and date, look East...voila

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1559078


I can understand your position. There is, however, no need for them to be so rude and mean. They personally attack people which is kind of overkill, and lends itself to the possibility that they have an ulterior motive, hence Shill.

The moon doesn't rise just before the sun. Venus does. That's why it is called 'the morning star'.

Re: WTF is this rising in Hawaii its huge & bright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have to remember that cam is above the clouds so if you use Stellarium then you have to offset the "distance above sea level" which is what I did & for that time 03:30 it put Betelgeuse in that location so I wondered hmmm is it Betelgeuse exploding or something as that is expected anytime now & with the NASA stories about space junk & satelites crashing then could this be the explosion on the cam?
Anyway the elevation of the cam is very high so thats my point here!

Check the latest Hawaii cloud cam & watch at 03:30 WTF is this rising?

I checked stellarium so it is not the Moon or Jupiter & the Sun rises about 4 hours later!!

The closest star I can think is Betelgeuse but WTF its too big & bright to be Betelgeuse so WTF is it?

I took a snapshot here [link to s1204.photobucket.com]

Check the cam stream here [link to www.cfht.hawaii.edu]
 Quoting: Lofty


From that site CFHT site, go to about this camera. [link to www.cfht.hawaii.edu]

There can't be almost no moon in the whole world right now, and a full moon in Hawaii.
