SDO’s Ultra-high Definition View of 2012 Venus Transit

Launched on Feb. 11, 2010, the Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, is the most advanced spacecraft ever designed to study the sun. During its five-year mission, it will examine the sun’s atmosphere, magnetic field and also provide a better understanding of the role the sun plays in Earth’s atmospheric chemistry and climate. SDO provides images with resolution 8 times better than high-definition television and returns more than a terabyte of data each day.

On June 5 2012, SDO collected images of the rarest predictable solar event—the transit of Venus across the face of the sun. This event happens in pairs eight years apart that are separated from each other by 105 or 121 years. The last transit was in 2004 and the next will not happen until 2117.

This gif movie is from a sequence of phographs taken of the Earth from the Moon at various intervals over a period of half an hour, by Apollo 16 commander John Young on April 21st 1972. The instrument used was the 'Far-Ultraviolet camera / Spectroscope' that was designed to study stars in Ultraviolet wavelengths. The photographs were not generally available unlike other NASA photographs with the exception of two different resolutions of the same photograph AS16-123-19657.
Some of the unpublished pictures have recently been decoded and published on the net ( http://www3.telus.net/summa/faruv/ )by the herculean and dedicated work of Thomas Bohn. (Much respect to you Thomas)
Because of the rotation of the moon. From the Moon the stars appear to be revolving past a stationary Earth. But what are the two star like objects just to the left of the Earth moving in formation with the Earth against
This gif sequence reveals two star like objects (just to the left of the Earth) that have the same or similar motion as the earth. Maybe this is why the files have remained buried by NASA for so long.
