This is something not related (aparently) to this thread... but i just looked at SOHO Lasco C3 pictures and saw this bright planet.

I've never seen before on lasco c3 a planet so bright... i don't know which planet it is. I lost that link from nasa where i could calculate the positions of planets so i could find out. This shows us about the change the whole solar system is going through.
