NOAA is the official agency charged by Congress to monitor the Sun and do solar forecasting. We provide real time data to NOAA to help them do forecasting. We are specifically prohibited from making forecasts. No, SOHO, the satellite, is not on the Internet yet. NASA is working on Internet protocols for space, so perhaps someday you will be able to contact a spacecraft directly.
Chances are that the object is a planet or bright star.
A look at the almanac and a star map will confirm. We have had a comet bright enough to saturate our CCDs also. Have a look at our annotated C3 image 8. An important note is that East is at the left edge and West is at the right edge, North is at the top and South is at the bottom. This follows the standard astronomical conventions of east and west as defined by the background stars.
