It's the thing to the bottom left. Be great if it really was a cool alien spaceship, but it's probably something far more mundane.
certainly doesn't look like the usual lense artifacts that you usually get. Interesting one. Could be a random bit of space junk or could it be a satelite? The other shots in the sequence would be handy.
Looks like cosmic ray hit(s). Or (less likely) local debris (interplanetary dust or fragments of spacecraft insulation) in the field of view. The camera is focused at infinity so if those are sharp reflections off the alien mothership then it's really, really big.
if you go here http://sohodata.nascom.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/soho_movie_theater select lasco2 and set the dates for 2012-04-23 - 2012-04-24 stop it at 6am ish and there it is, maybe an image artifact related to the flare? there's also a cool asteroid flying past too
Humph. You made me go to the Fail site. I still found no links there that say who's saying this, who posted the images, what the scientists and engineers on SOHO have to say...
anyway, this is looking like a good candidate... a cosmic ray hit, and here are a couple of other examples of this. http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov//dat...ed/2002/c2/20020129/20020129_2030_c2_1024.jpg http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov//dat...ed/2002/c2/20020607/20020607_0330_c2_1024.jpg
Oh for pity's sake, what's happened to you?? <xes> ALIENS!!!!!!! </xes> Please don't force me to be you again, I feel cheapened.
If its cthulhu we could send the editor and maybe it'd get confused by the dreds. Gotta be worth a go I mean its fucking Cthulhu.
I'm very sorry, I know I've let you, everyone else, and more importaintly myself down. I've been scourned by many, many SOHO/LASCO videos in the past, and I just can't forgive them for the hurt and pain they've caused me. Next time it'll be aliens, I'm sure of it! [/lostallhope]
of course, cosmic ray hits is just what they want us to think. Really, it was one of the carat drones
That one looks like Lister playing pool with planets. The first one is a hair in the gate, the same hair that messed up Clive's first take for the BBC2 documentary on masturbation.
