HEY ALL! Stopped by when I spotted this...any thoughts?

10958078663?profile=originalA guy took this pic a few days ago and submitted it asking if anyone could see the shadow of a planet to the right. I asked a friend of mine, and she can see it. For the life of me I can't. Here is the link explaining it to be 'a flare' of some sort during the sun's prominence..hope this odd link works. I am curious what you all see....

Miss you all hope you are well!

  • It's certainly possible.  There is also the possibility it is a UFO.

  • Do you think this entire scene could be one of the planets and a moon, maybe???

  • The circular image at 05:00 appears to be just outside of the sun's corona as a distinct entity.  What we have observed is sometimes a large object appears in line of sight of a smaller object, as here.  So, the larger object could be a reflection or refraction of the smaller object at 2:30 ish.

  • AHHH!! Okay, now I see it!! Problem is, so many objects in that system, unless it is that 'sun' of the system, it is hard to discern the smaller moons and planets apart...at least for me! LOL!

    Thanks for showing it to me...I was thinking that was some sort of lens flair from the camera.

  • Yep, still kickin'! 

    No, I was looking at the smaller orb at 2-2:30 ish. I'll zoome in on the larger one and see what's up.

    Where?  Good question.  To the right of the sun.  We've been seeing similar objects passing through.  Not the main event, though.

  • And, I turned up the clarity, definite object in there...

  • I used camera raw in Photoshop and adjusted some settings and I think we see the object within the dust/reflection, so no, I don't think it's a flare:
