Solved: What is it? Space mystery object

[Amir]

isn't it the time for another crop?

[bystander]

Time for some hints, anyway.

I deleted my post because I realized that its content was copyrighted and, as bystander said, the image must be from APOD.

May bad.

[wonderboy]

Its definetley an APOD, i never clicked through, its in the full list of original APODs so no cheating on my part. Your right though, the image does contain a belt of venus, but it also contains a sunset and sunrise. SOMEONE must get it now!

...it also contains a sunset and sunrise.

could be eclipse or analemma...

It sure looks like the Belt of Venus. Could it be a sunset on Mars (though they tend to be bluish)?

How about this one? http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap090121.html

[tocaman]

i would say it was a sunset near a pole somewhere?

[ajeadie18]

Could it be a noctilucent cloud?

[bystander]

Welcome to the game, let me explain the rules. The object is to guess which APOD the crop comes from. Whoever guesses right gets to post the next one.

I vote for closing this one. Any volunteers to post the next one?

If there are no objections, I'd be happy to post one.

Go for it! Start a new thread: What is it? Space mystery object #40.

Look familiar? I wanted something fun and a little less frustrating

Mc Donalds' French fries?

Mc Donalds' French fries?

If only... imagine, a McDPOD.

Well, I see this primarily black and yellow picture is not obvious..that's good. I purposely picked a crop that would have buried information in it, but I feared it might be too much. That appears not to be the case. Unless any of you are foaming at the synapses for an immediate clue, I'll provide one in a few days.

Hey it looks vaguely like a Coronal mass ejection to my eyes..

[alter-ego]

I don't think I'm giving away the farm here, but here is a clue. Those yellow things? Our buddy harry would likely call them roos

[alter-ego]

Given you're stuck on what next to do,
Yes, it's time for another clue -
Let's not despair and this image abort,
Instead what's up with that yellow roo,
And just why does it appear to distort?
In this crop, an insidious click-thru

I wanted something ... little less frustrating

you failed (unless you wanned it to be just a little, tiny bit less frustrating).

Thanks for the positive perspective, but no, I failed miserably...
There were one or two "easy" keywords that I thought would take you there, but they don't. I'm actually bummed that it was this hard (and likely frustrating).

I'll give another clue: The cropped graphic illustrates a process that might help find exoplanets.

[makc]

sorry, but no. I've found nice eclipse picture instead:

[Ihalo]

does it have some reference to the transit method?
