This is the current SOHO LASCO C3 image of our sun, what is the bright dot to the left of the sun with the line going through it?

Another star? A planet?

The line is diffraction spike. From the brightness it must be a planet

>The line is diffraction spike.
No, it's a saturation trail.

>Each pixel can store only a certain amount of electrons (of the order of 100,000). If a pixel is illuminated by a bright star and/or if the exposure time is long enough, that pixel will fill up, and the electrons will start to fill the neighboring pixels: the CCD is saturated. When the image is read, all the extra electrons will be spread over the column containing the saturated pixels, making a saturation trail, as shown in Fig.11.

It's Jupiter. The planet is in scorpio right now and if you continue looking at images from SOHO you will soon see the star Acrab appear in the frame. It will be to the left of Jupiter. Dschubba is already visible in the latest image right under Jupiter.

Acrab is now visible in the latest images from SOHO.
