This huge object pictured above was captured on NASA'S SECCHI STEREO HI1 satellite. Our Sun is casting the Light that is coming in from the left side of the frame. This satellite's archives showed the Sun began reacting to this object on November 15th and there are several frames missing on the 15th and 16th.
On Nov. 21,16 NASA issued a very strange report on the object that passed the Sun. Your Watchman remains skeptical of what NASA is telling us about this incident. Below is NASA's report.
There's a huge hole in the sun, but it has nothing to do
with alien spaceships or any other conspiracy theory.
Last week, NASA's STEREO-A spacecraft captured
an image showing
awhite sphere covering a small
part of the sun. The photo went viral over the weekend, with some
media outlets breathlessly describing the feature as a UFO or a "mystery
sphere."
But there's no
mystery, scientists explained
Just combination
of 2 @NASA STEREO images (1 of sun, 1 of space) caused by computer error.
Happens sometimes," C. Alex Young, a heliophysicist at NASA's Goddard
Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said today (Nov. 21) via Twitter,
where he posts information about the sun and space weather using the handle
@TheSunToday.
There is an actual hole in the sun at the
moment, but it doesn't look anything like the white dot in the image taken by
STEREO-A (whose name is short for Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory).
Rather, it's a gigantic, dark feature called a "coronal hole" — a relatively
cool region where the sun's magnetic field lies open to interplanetary space,
allowing the flow of charged particles known as the solar wind to stream forth
Solar wind particles
that hit Earth can spark geomagnetic storms on this planet, which can
temporarily disrupt power grids and satellite operations. These storms also
sometimes supercharge the gorgeous auroral displays known as the northern and
southern lights.
Indeed, dramatic Arctic auroras occurred late
last month when this same coronal hole — which scientists have been tracking
with NASA's Solar Dynamics
Observatory spacecraft — was facing Earth. And a similar display could
begin tomorrow night (Nov. 22), because the hole has rotated around toward this
planet again.
"Since our last encounter with this hole,
in late October, it has been transiting the far side of the sun, carried around
by the sun's 27-day rotation,"Spaceweather.com reported today. "Now that it is back, we
can see that the hole is not quite as large as it was a month ago — but it is
still impressive, covering more than one-fourth of the visible solar
disk."
It would hard
for the conspiracy theorists to argue that this hole is an alien spaceship
— the sun is more than 860,000 miles (1.4 million kilometers) wide, after
all
