Telescopic Dust Cloud

Dust passing?

Perhaps why SOHO images are frequently confused, a burnout, or withheld. Hard to determine where this dust lies, though it is disbursed enough in the atmoshphere to create a red tinge to the sun face. Compare to photo of the Sun from the previous day, where only a light overload from light reflecting through the dust cloud caused the normally yellow sun to show a rolling burnout of white.
