Even those amateur scientists who lock on to an impending disaster will be coerced and bullied into keeping shit on a lock until further notice. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28032678 All this will be done to avoid the unstoppable raping, pillaging and apeshit slaughter that the world will inflict on itself the moment a major impending event/disaster is incoming. You people who are stupid enough to believe that you will know in advance of some major disaster are in for a fucking rude surprise. Sure maybe you are civilized and your neighbor is civilized..but your not taking the rest of the population and pshyco athiest rapist and cut throats who are waiting for that news to come so they can hit your home and tear you to bits for a can of campbells soup you have in your cupboard... So tell me...who the fuck in their right mind would actually BE ALLOWED to spread the truth of something like a major event...thats right..NO ONE...the government will make sure of that very quickly. So the millions of amateur astronomers are ALL being coerced?  reading comprehension....got it ? I am saying even if this is real which is obviously not...YOU WONT be informed of its genuine nature until the government is ready for mass public disclosure. And again, how is the government going to stop the millions of amateur astronomers out there from saying something? Give your head a shake |

Quoting: higher state of consciousness hey astro, do you think anything will happen with this alignment tomorrow? anything unusual that is? cheers. No, but I'll be watching/broadcasting until after the moment of solstice tomorrow morning. what here on glp? Night skies network, I'll make a thread and link to my feed when it's up.  thanks! I will look for it. |
| Dr. Astro Not to be confused with Phil Plait User ID: 4211721 United States12/20/2012 05:41 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Dr. Astro What about it? Here's the latest image (at its native resolution):  Pardon the glare from the sun on the left, I haven't done anything to subtract it from the raw image. That's precisely what they did to the jpg version of the beacon image you see on the website (and not that well imho), but there's not literally a dark region there. They process those versions quite heavily, I strongly recommend downloading the raw FITS images from the FTP before you draw conclusions like "3 days of darkness approach." sooo.....this mean exactly what astro? Processing artifact from the background subtraction they're using. They usually average a previous day's images together to create a calibration image which is subtracted from the latest image so that they can elminate the glare from the sun and see the tenuous heliosphere. They only update the calibration image every so often, and as time passes it may become less and less appropriate compared to the actual glare that's present and how the CCD is responding to the light. In other words, the calibration image is currently subtracting too much. There isn't really a "dark" region there, it's actually quite bright and if you don't compensate for it and try to just adjust the levels of the raw unprocessed beacon image to match the JPGs present online you end up blowing out the glare which is what you see with the large white region on the left side of the image: It seems like the calibration image they're using for the non-BEACON images is much better right now (high quality low compression versions of the same images), which is why if you go back a few days the problem vanishes instantly. Once you step forward one image into the BEACON images the problem with the calibration frame appears. In a few days when you check back at the stereo site, the beacon JPGs will be replaced with full resolution JPGs from the non-BEACON versions, at which time the "black region" will probably either be greatly reduced or gone altogether. Standard non-BEACON images have to be processed from scratch so just because there's a problem with the BEACON processed version does not always mean there will be a problem with the full res version a few days later. You are literally saying that the glare from the sun has subsided beyond established non-BEACON glare-reducing image processing parameters resulting in the recent darkened STEREO images. Presumably, glare is a direct function of sun luminosity, which would mean that the sun has darkened beyond established image correcting parameters. This begs the question: is this level of darkening unusual? If so, to what quantitative degree? The amount of glare is subject to a number of variables including the brightness of the sun (which varies with the presence or absence of sunspots), the spacecraft attitude, and the response of the CCD to light. So no, it's not a direct function of solar luminosity, that is only one component. Yes, solar irradiance is variable, but the amount of variation is quite small in amplitude, about .1~.3% : [link to blogs.edf.org] When processing these images, adjusting the strength of the background subtraction by even that very small percentage can have a large impact on the result - the processing includes a lot of aggressive contrast enhancement so even tiny differences are exaggerated. Having done a lot of STEREO HI image processing myself, I know for a fact it's quite normal for the amount of glare to change over time which can result in artifically bright or dark regions in the image. In fact, it's why I started developing my own processing method which doesn't involve subtracting previous images but rather involves a dynamic background subtraction using only the current image:  |

And again, how is the government going to stop the millions of amateur astronomers out there from saying something? Give your head a shake First off I highly doubt Millions of amateurs will be privy to what governmental teams like Nasa and other countries space programs will already have advance notice of and who will take pro active steps from freaking out the populace until the world is ready. IE Its too late ...just drop your draws and hold on tight. Do you actually believe that out of those millions the majority are going to simply go public ? Millions of amateur scientist won't latch on to an incoming event at the same time...the same way a youtube video doesnt go viral over night... Pockets of fact filled evidence will find their way through the cracks but by and large governmental forces will do everything in the their power to enforce the cover up until they are well prepared if ever to deal with the world chaos that will ensue. This is not rocket science here and its naive to think that amateurs around the world won't be blocked or snuffed out until its too late for all of us. World governments arent stupid..they know exactly what happens when disclosure is acknowledged. |

When it happens I manually change the background subtraction myself to compensate (not always perfectly mind you). Their automated process doesn't even attempt to do that.
