Signs in the sun , moon, stars. Calling on that smart astronomy guy.

Any hypothetical large body coming into our solar system would push a barrage of small bodies from the Oort, Kuiper and the inner asteroid belt our way.

We'd know something was coming long before it got here.

No WM or Nibs inbound.

There is a huge difference between watching stars and reading stars. Astro looks through a telescope and observes. No skill involved with that, unless you’re blind.

Reading stars in like learning another language. It take years of research and experience.

who gives a sht? is the fear-p04n'er RFB

quit watching this paid-for fool

Lens gas.

Unless if virtually all of the astronomers on Earth who would be actively looking for these celestial bodies were out of work and/or defunded. Which is exactly has happened planet wide as far as I know.

Also look at this video! Look at the 1:40 mark:

This video would seem to prove that Venus is nowhere remotely close to the Sun. So what did RichieFromBoston see with his camera?

It's called 'lens flare'.

Look it up on wiki.

Astro won't waste his time on stuff like this ...

I wonder if using welding shield plates doubled up over the end of a telescope would work? I don’t have any sun filters for it.

The Son is Jesus.....

As he stated in the vid, you could see the obvious lens flares. His camera locked on to the object in question though as a separate object. Does that happen in cameras if it’s a lens flare?

The longer this keeps defining into an 'actual unknown
object', the more "concerned" I get.
What if Astromut is working on this exact capture?

Isn't that what he does?

Hmm apparently I got Venus hosed somewhow lol.

However, Mercury could it the bill..maybe.

Check this video and dates. Wonder what date the OP's vid was shot on??

This will likely turn out to be nothing like always.

in 2029, Apophis will be interesting and of course we all await the redkachina to see what is behind it.

August 10th, maybe 11th to 13th it might have been Mercury.

We have been having an increase in NEOs and "oh look, there it went!"s lately with asteroids flying by, no? There was a thread pinned earlier discussing how we had a "near miss" (I hate that term) on Sunday, and we didn't even see it coming!:
Thread: NEAR MISS!!!! Sunday ASTEROID passed only 1830 miles from EARTH.... "We did not see it coming."

Even RichieFromBoston was fully aware of the lens flares his camera was showing. Which is why he was jumping up and down some but mostly moving his camera around like a mad fool. It was all just a show to help prove whatever he was seeing in the sky next to the Sun was legitimately there and not a mere lens flare.

Yes, Too Dark Park™ Two, I hate the "near miss" term as well. I have long considered professionals who use that term to be very stupid and should not be considered professionals under any circumstances. Words are power. Words are weapons. Words are gifts. Words are literal mind control.

So using very stupid terms such as "near miss" to describe a near collision just serves to seriously dumb down the professionals in the professions that use such asinine terms. I like to use the term, "near collision" or "near crash".

well the fact is the inner asteroid belt is close in proximity astronomically and they orbit Jupiter and Earth.

The Dawn Mission recently published that asteroid Ceres is cryptovolcanic and has water - quite extraordinary for what should be a dry rock.

However, not so if the 5th planet, a watery one, imploded and Ceres was a part of it.

Long video, but it provides a hypothesis for all that might be happening - past, present and future. Including Ceres and the inner asteroid belt.

Paging Dr. Astro. Paging Dr. Astro.

WTF?

Yes, the camera will lock onto anything it 'sees'.

A bright flare in the lens will still project onto the CCD device and make the camera think there is something actually there.


Just like dust on the lens .. it's why we clean the lens before filming.

"Every occurrence of Saturn – Pluto conjunction is a relatively rare event that happens approximately every 33–38 years and lasts slightly over two years. Saturn – Pluto conjunction can be seen as a “global Saturn return” of karmic nature that applies to the whole world.

The two year period of the current Saturn – Pluto conjunction culminating in January 2020 marks the completion of a nearly four decades long planetary cycle between Saturn and Pluto and thus carries certain undertones of the time of judgement."

Firmament opening soon, instead of water, Fire!

Here is an intro to astrology, very good. There are signs in the sun, planets, moon, houses.

A few yrs ago I was driving home and saw the setting sun in my rear view mirror but it looked doubled. So I turned south and rolled down my window.
Imagine a snowman without a head. Just the bottom two snowballs. It looked exactly like that and as I watched, the top sun which was smaller, lowered gradually behind the bottom sun and then the bottom sun began to set like usual. I didn’t have a cell phone then, it must have been 10 or more years ago I guess but it was incredible!

Life is what you make of it.

Astrology is the music playing in the background of that great restaurant.

Astronomy is the map that got you there.

I still have my eclipse glasses, will use them tomorrow

Very true, the key is listening to the music.

whoop! There it is!!

This is so much more fun than 2012!!!
