New Additions: 05h - STERE-Oh look, it's Venus. Again.

[TheGuardian222]

good deal! Intelligent and rational approach. Love common sense. Look, this approach is what I needed to dispel this kind of passion, it illustrates peoples want to beleive or fear. 

[ThePloth]

So.. When u click the "what planets are visable" button, why wasnt Venus labelled on the stereo B but on stereo A ? Wouldnt it make more sense to label Venus on Behind as its 3 times the size?

[3WMElliott]

@ThePloth No, because Venus had left the frame by then, what you were seeing was the light reflected off the instruments. There simply wasn't enough of Venus left in view to label it Venus, if that makes sense, and the planets in view page only labels planets of course, not image artifacts.

[lenasvn]

You are so right (your info box). If one attemt to tell them what it is, you get attacked with beeks and claws, and you were'nt even rude. I will favorite this clip and put it in my box.

[Athatchica]

It doesn't matter. People will believe what they want to believe, and argue that official and scientific explanations are *clearly* trying to cover up a great conspiracy.

I think the greatest proof for all this being a fallacy will be Time. Just wait a few years and chuckle smugly at the thousands of people who were utterly wrong.

And then shake your head at the undeniable proof that Nibiru is coming in 2026.

[wg1222222]

I like your video and I m not saying this isn't Venus, or the new star we can all see now isn't Jupiter. My question is what is causing them to shine with such brilliance. If they shined like this all the time everyone wouldn't be asking "what is this". So true this possibly isn't Nibiru, but could this be a sign that it is here because to produce more light ther must be another light source. Also, think of this the scientist have never proven Nibiru or its legend is not true.

[3WMElliott]

@wg1222222 The HI instruments detect very faint sources of light, primarily light from CME's, which in turn become the brightest parts of the image (think solar eclipse - when the Sun is blocked out, its faint corona is now the brightest part we can see).

Even though HI1 doesn't directly look at the Sun, the Sun still lights up the planets. That light is also faint, but of course HI1 detects faint sources and brightens them up, so planets become the strongest light sources in the imagery.[cont]

[3WMElliott]

@wg1222222 [pt 2] Venus is the third brightest object in our skies behind the Sun and the Moon because of being lit up by the Sun, and I've been seeing Jupiter at night with no problems and my own eyes too. The problem is that many people are mistaking these light sources as something else entirely, when they are in fact just boring old planets, so to speak.

As for scientists proving Nibiru false, they don't have to - the burden of proof is on proponents to offer something worth investigating.

watch?v=6_am_pVo-Bc

[3WMElliott]

@WHDTV What that video calls Venus is a diffraction artifact caused by Jupiter leaving the field of view a few days earlier. It's explained here: stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/artifacts­/artifacts_reflections.shtml as well as a few comments down in response to XEpicChefCakesX asking about it too.

It's known, it's understood, it's happened many times before and will likely happen again - Venus is already creating the ring reflection now, so in a few days we'll likely see the diffraction too.

It's normal.

[melenmike]

oil leak is the problem we be focus on

[Naruseki]

Great video, as always. : )

And yeah, I've been trying to be nice, and explain, over, and over again. But the only response I get back is that I'm a denier or that I work for the Government.

Are these people mentally sane?

[XEpicChefCakesX]

Hey Elliot I wanna ask a question. In STEREO Behind HI1 in 2010-06-25 at 20:09:39 there is some sort of Comet or Asteroid in the frame. A lot of people are saying this is Venus. I for one, disagree. And I really can't get any proof of this but I just want to make sure what it is. If you can please have a look. You seemed to have cut it out of this video, so I can't put a time into it. Please investigate this since I really have no data on it. :p Thankyou.

[3WMElliott]

@XEpicChefCakesX June 25th shows neither a comet, asteroid or Venus, but a diffraction artifact. If you roll the clock back to June 20th or so, you'll see a reflection artifact (like the ring reflection in this video), and if you roll the clock back a few days more you'll see the cause of both these artifacts - Jupiter.

The series of events is explained here: stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/artifacts­/artifacts_reflections.shtml and it wouldn't surprise me if we see Venus do the same thing soon too.

[SiriusMined]

They are ACTUALLY saying it's not Venus because it MOVED??!? Do they think it just sits there?

The thing that gets me the most is that they take the data from the sites, then reject teh SAME sites explanation of the information....and substitute there own wacky interpretation with NO source for their information, other than some other jackoff on the web.

Thanks for beating down the Nibirubes once again.

[3WMElliott]

@SiriusMined Summed it up in a nutshell there.

There is interest in what these images look like, there's no doubt they draw lots of views, no matter what instrument is the talk of the week... but there is absolutely no interest in learning about how the images are made, where they come from, what they actually show, what the instruments are studying.

It's a bit bizarre to say the least.

[dunskie]

Thank you for clearing things up for me. Though you might, I do not find the SOHO site so easily navigated.

[dunskie]

@dunskie I mean Stereo. lol

[3WMElliott]

@dunskie Look hard enough and you can find the minutes from their weekly meetings on there, but yes, I take your point.

The prominent page, the latest images, does have that block of links to important areas above all the images, but I guess pretty pictures are far more interesting than clicking a link (and a bold link no less) that says "What planets are currently visible?"

[Darkspy946]

Venus: I'z in ur STEREO, makin dem ppl go stoopid

[lukealandrummond]

but the thing is...that satalite doesnt look at the sun... it looks to the side

[3WMElliott]

@lukealandrummond This particular instrument doesn't look directly at the Sun, that's correct, it's why you don't see the sun in the imagery.

Similarly, Venus is not in any other instruments field of view, for either satellite, so that's another thing we can use to show that it's Venus and nothing else unusual - because we know where satellites are, where the instruments look, and where planets are, we should even be able to predict what will appear or disappear in each view over time.

[fozzillo]

Extremely well done!

My very first video on YT was on the same subject, just a little less accurate, but it was a support in a discussion. you can see it on my channel, the oldest video.

Poor planets, always mistaken for UFOs.

When I think that prehistoric man could easily identify them but many of the modern ones can not, I almost doubt about evolution.

[3WMElliott]

@fozzillo In our quest to learn more and more, we've got dumber and dumber with the basics. I can see that happening, yeah... "Oh man the STEREO satellites are awwwwesome! That can't possibly be something so bland as Venus!"

At least we're all aware the sun is at the center of the solar system, right? We are all... aware of that... yeah? Yeah. Good...
