Image artifacts - Internal reflections
Light reflecting inside the telescope optics, and diffracting off edges within the telescopes, can produce some interesting effects. Consider this series of images showing the planet Venus leaving the field of view of the HI1-B telescope between Janary 26-31, 2009. As Venus approaches the edge of the field-of-view, a ring shape is seen apparently coming out of the planet. This is caused by reflections of the bright planet off of the camera barrel. (If you look closely at the full-field version of the January 26, 2009 image above, you'll see a large, faint bubble on the left side of the image, which is also an internal reflection of Venus.) The ring grows progressively larger as time goes by. On January 31, a horizontal streak appears near the position where Venus disappeared. This latter effect is caused by diffraction off of the optical baffles. http://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/artifacts/artifacts.shtml

  • It's not lens flare. Look at the image at .53 secs. there is a smaller loop on the opposite side. I'm a photographer, you CAN'T get lens flare on the dark side of an object. It is a solar flare hitting Venus's electro magnetic field and lighting it up. Venus's aurora borealis.

  • @Valthepixie I'm afraid you're worng. For one STEREO telescope Instruments are built different than your handy camera, two Venus don't have a electro magnetic fields at all.

  • The lens flare on this video example is a lens flare however it is obviously different to that video of the supposed real flare !

  • @AngelWarriorMusic Could you explain the difference?

  • reflection and diffraction inside the telescope? it looks like a flare to me

  • COME ON BRO! Remember when people thought Jupiter shot a CME at elenin? Please watch our videos on this. It happens anytime a planet comes into or out of view. Our 2Min news today tells the story and we put one out last night called Venus Awakens? Reality Check. Nothing is happening -IF U WATCH MY VID AND DISAGREE I'LL QUIT YOUTUBE

  • someone help me understand why I am looking at Venus and the light is pulsing. I thought the planets visible light stays steady? only stars twinkle!

  • @sil3ntdogood Thanks for the comment...not so crazy...God is not in the universe, the universe is in God...How else could he be everywhere at once? Food for thought...lol...Peace!

  • @Skyywatcher88 I'm a proffessional photographer I don't have a "handy camera". Try a large format digital Hassleblad they cost c$20K. lol

    Venus does have an electromagnetic energy field, it's just not as strong as Earths mostly because Venus does not rotate so fast as Earth, or that could be a sympton not the cause. But it does have one. ;)

  • what an idiot.

  • that's odd..

  • lucifer means venus, && lucifer is depicted as the bringer of light. if this video is real that dipiction and many other ancient mythologies has to be acknowledged.

  • Very good. The fact that anomalies like this look just like real events is truly unfortunate.
