Has NASA broken the SOHO thermometer? Venus, Mercury or Nibiru?

I mean everybody’s seen the today’s famous Soho Picture? The majority says it’s Venus, a few say Mercury and some vote Nibiru. So what is it?

Soho is located between us (the Earth) and the Sun, near the Earth (at 0,1 AU = Earth-Sun distance).

Venus will be in complete opposition with Earth in mid-August and it means that the Sun will be between Earth and Venus. From Soho’s perspective then, it will be behind the Sun and invisible.

At the moment Venus is already near from the opposition and it seems that it would enter in the camera’s spectrum from the rear at 1.6 UA, so at 1,5 UA from Soho and cross the screen , disappear behind the Sun and reappear on the same trajectory. We will see… or should?

Soho is 0,9 UA away from the Sun. The Sun’s diameter is 100 times greater than Venus’s. Venus could then appear 160 times smaller at that distance. But it appears here much bigger, at least 1/6 of the Sun’s.

Mercury would be nearer, but still 0,4 AU away at minimum from Soho and it is smaller that our moon. It would not appear so big.

Why is it so big? And the “winged” aspect? Is it a lens effect or anything else? We had just seen a little bit of the second “wing” on the 14h 18 soho’s picture and no more new picture yet. Before that, the last actualization occurred at 14h 06!!? After that, no more actualization!!

Has the NASA broken the thermometer?

Has anybody answers?
