This image was taken by the X-Ray Telescope (XRT) on the Hinode Satellite. Venus is just outside the limb of the sun, silhouetted against the corona, which is glowing in the X-rays. The movie from XRT shows venus following a curious curved path, as opposed to the straight path seen in AIA. This curved path is due to the polar orbit of the Hinode satellite.
