[quote:Anonymous Coward 17918342:MV8xODkxMTI4XzMxNzYwODg5XzdEQ0M1ODRF] I don't really understand what you mean, if the camera is locked into the centre of the sun and the sun appears not to be ascending and descending then why would venus appear to be doing so if its path was stable? [/quote]
Original Message
I thought I would make an explaination of the video before a conspiracy takes form.
You are looking at the ProbA2 SWAP image. The spacecraft is in a sun-synchronous orbit which ascends and descends enough to effectively change the perspective because the camera is locked to center the sun as it varies. This causes Venus in the images to appear that it's orbital path is wobbling. In actuality the path is stable.
