  @Vinokurov this #artifact is probably coming from the instrument itself, most probably while reading the data from the camera to the file

  #SOHO is in space, in the L1 point where the only thing that we could see crossing in between would be Mercury and Venus. And that's rare.

  @Mjbarrett I suppose we could also get comets on the line of sight, but I'm not aware of any. ISON was cool though!

  By the way, this is how Venus was seen in the last transit through a magnetogram, like the images we are using here http://imgur.com/6pGpB6O

  @dvdgc thank you! It is amazing to get a sense of the scale 😃

  Venus is smaller than Earth by a bit, but looks bigger here because it is close to the camera, eclipsing the Sun which is far... I think...
