This new comet is a sun grazer, remember comet neat in 2003? It was is almost 2 times the size of jupiter..

This one may be bigger, but there is no comet tail, why?
More about this when it gets closer to the sun, 2 or 3 days?

How do you know that's a comet and not, say, Venus?

I see no entry for that picture on that link. Could you copy and paste the entry in that log you think applies?

Please note: the 2012 conspiracy theory is a banned subject here. It is pure crackpot nonsense and we won't feed it.

Looking at a sky map via Starry Night, I find that Venus is about 6 degrees west of the sun right now. The FOV of that telescope is 16 degrees. Therefore: Venus!

The refrence is to a calander, very usful for predicting usfull astronomy.
and to show what evidence we can support the obviouse.
venus would appeare as a tiny dot next to the sun, unlike the photo.

Take a look here http://lasco-www.nrl.navy.mil/images/C3_desc.html"
This shows how big Venus appears.


That is Venus in the most current shot just entering the frame!

And you base that assertion on what, exactly?

The comparison photo of comet neat is how I made the comparison.
comet neat is almost twice the size of jupiter, in comparison the latest photo above left represents somthing at least that size, if not bigger.

A binary star?

latest photos.

The activity of solar flare you see here confirms a new solar cycle has begun.
