Huge comet seen on soho web page.

[freethsone]

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?

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

Myan predictions dec 21 2012...

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!

And you base that assertion on what, exactly?

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!

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.
