Solarflaretracker200 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Actually I think the one that is circled is Mercury Wait actually idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesterface23 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 That might be a star. Mercury is near center, Mars has already rotated out of view a month ago, and Venus shouldn't be in view yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drax Spacex Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 It's the star Antares. We know it's not a planet or a comet because it moves along with the background of the stars. You can overlay a LASCO image with a star chart with Sun and planets to match up the patterns for a given day. Just to the right and below Antares is a small fuzzy sphere which is the globular cluster NGC6121 aka Messier object M4. https://ibb.co/GWQ5xVP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
