Post Amazing Transit on Helioviewer
This is an amazing sequence shown on the Helioviewer site of a body transitting the Sun on 6/12/2010 from 02:56:00 to 03:20:00 thereabouts. Thank you recall15 for pointing this out. (Would love to know how you stumbled onto this??)

http://helioviewer.org/


SO - any opinions from Atronomers out there?? What the hell is this?

From the link above:

Comet C/2009 R1 (McNaught) will be a bright binocular comet and probably even a faint naked eye comet for observers under dark skies.

or

There was a planet alignment of Venus, Mars and Saturn on 6/12. If you recall, there were fears of a tsunami in June due to the planetary stresses.

Well, it might not be THAT particular one but here's a big ole Texas hat tip to Kashodi @ GLP, who, BTW is Canadian!

Dark Jupiter May Haunt Edge of Solar System :huh

A century of comet data suggests a dark, Jupiter-sized object is lurking at the solar system’s outer edge and hurling chunks of ice and dust toward Earth.

“We’ve accumulated 10 years’ more data, double the comets we viewed to test this hypothesis,” said planetary scientist John Matese of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. “Only now should we be able to falsify or verify that you could have a Jupiter-mass object out there.”

In 1999, Matese and colleague Daniel Whitmire suggested the sun has a hidden companion that boots icy bodies from the Oort Cloud, a spherical haze of comets at the solar system’s fringes, into the inner solar system where we can see them.

In a new analysis of observations dating back to 1898, Matese and Whitmire confirm their original idea: About 20 percent of the comets visible from Earth were sent by a dark, distant planet.

This idea was a reaction to an earlier notion that a dim brown-dwarf or red-dwarf star, ominously dubbed Nemesis, has pummeled the Earth with deadly comet showers every 30 million years or so. Later research suggested that mass extinctions on Earth don’t line up with the Nemesis predictions, so many astronomers now think that object doesn’t exist.

Well - my research has only surfaced a link to the SDO blog that claims a Moon transit. BUT- they stated it would be on the 4th???

Certainly borne out by the silly discussion on ATS!! :roflmao

The SDO link: http://sdoisgo.blogspot.com/2010/12/there-will-be-lunar-transit-tomorrow.html

It is NOT Nibiru...


:slap
