Something LARGE approaching the SUN on STEREO AHEAD COR2!! | |
| Just the facts! Offer Upgrade  User ID: 33561817  United Kingdom02/18/2013 03:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | STEREO AHEAD COR2 ~ Approaching object! At first I thought it was probably VENUS but as the centre circle represents the SUN that would make this object incredibly large, much to large to be Venus I would have thought?! [link to stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov] In addition, if it were Venus it would be heading in the wrong direction as this representational image of STEREO AHEAD and Venus's current positions would seem to indicate! All planets of course orbit in an anti-clockwise direction around our star so Venus is currently moving away from the Stereo Ahead satellite?! [link to stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov] The object appears on all images since 06:09 GMT.

Also, if the white circle is our sun's relative size then this object would be massive in comparison to Mercury!

Here study the direction of the inner planets!

Op you posted "something " leading us to believe you had already disregarded Venus. I tried to help you be recalling the planets that were orbiting near the sun this morning.

Problem is if you study the model then it would seem impossible to view Mercury from both satellites at the same time? Therefore, the models must be inaccurate and cannot be trusted for judgement as the variations are too great! So, from the figures I must agree that it does indeed appear to be Mercury.

Quoting: Just the facts! It's Mercury. You can't judge an object's size just by looking at how many pixels it occupies in processed COR2 images. It's effectively a point-like light source to that imager, so its size in the image is merely a function of how bright it is. Nothing more.  |
