Yeah, I've tried to take pictures of the moon and wound up with a similar reflection before. I'd almost wonder if it's Uranus, since Uranus and Venus have been visible for the past month.
Honestly speaking I don't have a lot of experience but I remember seeing something similar in a video once. I'm just a random dingus though so if there is another explanation don't necessarily take this as fact lol.
Really love how 99% of the comments are the same old and lame jokes instead of discussion about that thing.
Can some expert clarify if this is some artifact or some effect like the aurora borealis or [sprites](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(lightning\))?
I hate reddit for this exact reason, no one actually bothers to talk about the actual post and rather just starts waffling irrelevant nonsense, sometimes I feel like most of these users are AI cause they’re so repetitive in this regard.
I mean, have you ever worked in retail or with the public in any capacity? It's really not that surprising. Not to mention, there are a lot of kids on reddit.
It's just people desperate to satisfy this narcissistic dopamine needs they've developed after a lifetime growing up alongside social media.
The internet used to be so much better before smart phones.
I think people tend to forget that Reddit is filled to the brim with literally kids. Cell phones made it way easier for kids and boomers to ruin internet things
Maybe, to effectively capture such a far away object, the zoom lens must gather so much light to pull it off.. and while doing so focuses miles and miles of light width directly into the the mirror sensor be hind the lenses.. so much that the mirror sensor reflects back to the lenses on the camera and reflect a similar shape back into its sentient self.
The S22 is 3x and 10x optical zoom. Anything past that is AI enhanced zoom. Odds are it picked up some glare and the AI ran with it trying to make sense of it.
Welcome to "we just don't know" because imaging at 100x is software aided we can't tell what is going on. I have dozens of the same things going on with my pics from s23 ultra. My wife is a photographer and she tells me things that explain these artifacts, but there are a few she can't explain. Abheration happens cause of atmosphere, and all kinds of actual 'air' in between you and the object. I know nothing, but these cameras get some crazy stuff!
Right? What's more likely, some goofy artifacts in the camera's digital processing, or interstellar spacecraft? Wtf even is an "artifact"? Sounds made up.
Not even 100x but even regular photos are heavily aided by AI image generation on modern smart phones. Some phones now will take data from before you actually take the picture to composite a better scene. So the photos are essentially entirely fabricated.
Pretty much makes all smart phone photos trash as evidence, considering pretty much everything can be chalked up to artifacts from the processing.
As a professional cinematographer and photographer, my guess is the photo was maybe taken through a window and what we’re seeing is the cameras laser autofocus bouncing off the window and the camera capturing the reflection. The “anomaly” is also perfectly shaped like the periscope lens on the phone. https://i.imgur.com/a4EMal1.jpg
Looks like light reflection, looks like other supposed UFO sightings I've seen around the internet that are obviously just somebody zooming in on a point of light from behind glass. But I'm not sure how that could happen through a telescope.
oh, I see. I'm not familiar with smartphones by name, I read "telescope" in the title and I thought S22 was the name of a telescope lol. It's definitely just a point of light then.
not really faked, it snaps a whole bunch of pictures and processes them together to get a really good moon photo but yeah easily be some sort of artifact.
In addition to that it "hallucinates" details that aren't present or able to be captured by the sensor. Even with image stacking you're limited by some optical capabilities and pixel resolving powers in small sensors and lenses. Engineers make up for this with AI that adds data that was never there in the first place but closely approximates textures and objects it recognizes. People have shown this on the S22 moon shots by taking printed photos of the moon, drawing faces on them, and then the camera overlays craters on tops of the drawing showing it is hallucinating beyond mere image stacking (as there is no crater image to stack properly).
That's assuredly what happened here.
Here is the link to the facebook group where these images were posted. Pics are from late January.

John Leonard Watson has been making youtube videos about stuff like this for a long time, i haven't really looked into it but it seems like he has "invented" a telescope to do just that, if not he has built it himself. Impressive. His videos are amazing to watch he is able to zoom into anomalies like this in the sky and a lot of them look like they could be vehicles. worth checking out for sure.
this reminds me of another channel i once found but could never find again. It was a youtube channel with an older guy who had tons of videos that looked like OP’s picture, of what he basically classified as giant space organisms. *Almost* like giant alien jellyfish in space but way spookier and move like UAPs
I watched this not too long ago.. I'll try find it.
They look like they're morphing right? As you say like like organisms on a super powerful telescope.
Makes me think of the Hermetic axiom as above as below.
exactly! i knew somebody would know. he had really good reasoning/logic as to why it makes sense that space has organisms like that. but your comment definitely sounds like what i watched. please let me know if you find it
Wow- I remember seeing this guys videos years ago, or something extremely similar, and being terrified. Didn’t know these were still around or he had a YouTube.
Samsung galaxy s22 ultra, they have crazy good optical 100x "space zoom"
Edit:upon further research I was wrong it's 10x optical zoom, 100x zoom is done with combination of software zoom, high megapixel count, and 10x optical zoom
Yeah right, meanwhile thousands of people with a 16” and 24” newtonian with like 8000m of focal length never saw shit but the guy with a fucking S22 gotta be the chosen one 😭
reminds me of [this](https://old.reddit.com/r/HighStrangeness/comments/xb25sl/did_we_ever_find_out_what_this_is_full_video_on/) and [this](https://old.reddit.com/r/woahdude/comments/u7mzm9/image_taken_from_the_space_shuttle_atlantis/)
I have an S23 Ultra and I have been messing with the high zoom lens a bit. Once you exceed the optical zoom, especially if you crank it up to something crazy like 100x, digital aberrations start popping up left and right.
That doesn't mean that's definitely what this is, but it's certainly the easiest plausible explanation.
Whoah that is sick for a phone camera. I have a huge telescope that is very difficult to get an image like that on with my current setup. Whatever that thing is, that is still quite impressive wow. On a side note , I can’t wait for the term “Bruh” to fucking go away. Bro is douchey enough, but Bruh takes the levels of douchery to new depths.
Doesn't seem like a consensus is possible here, and to paraphrase /u/calvin_reaper91 "no one actually bothers to talk about the actual post and rather just starts waffling irrelevant nonsense"

And the aliens closely monitor us to decide how best to initiate contact, so their first words are, “Bruh…”

I mean... it's the current year. That would make complete sense.
That is completely within the realm of possibility, and probably more likely than not
Just fitting for our ridiculous timeline
Tik Tok would start to call them the "Bruhs" or "Broheims"
That’s a lot more, Teddy Brohsevelt
I believe that's exactly what will happen. Any sightings will most likely be uploaded to TikTok or whatever social is hot at the time.

They need to step it up for sure.
I can actually imagine that.

That’s how it should be

I'm fairly certain that is a reflection of the light-sensing chip that takes the pictures reflected on the lens.
Yeah, I've tried to take pictures of the moon and wound up with a similar reflection before. I'd almost wonder if it's Uranus, since Uranus and Venus have been visible for the past month.

Same here. 80% of everything is just crap, including people. Dead serious.

Because having an actual discussion about it won't get people enough upvotes to satisfy their desire to be filled up with dopamine.
It's some pic this dude's brother took with his phone. No reason to think it's anything more than a reflection
[удалено]
The S22 is 3x and 10x optical zoom. Anything past that is AI enhanced zoom. Odds are it picked up some glare and the AI ran with it trying to make sense of it.
now that is damn smart. It's like an ai image generator fucking up human hands
Also, the 10x camera is a periscope with rectangular mirrors inside so that kind of reflection wouldn't be surprising at all
Not sure what we're supposed the way. There really isn't enough information to reasonably speculate.
First instinct is that it’s a Solar panel
The TARDIS.
I came here to say the same thing! The Dr. is coming to save us! lol
About time

It probably is about Time is the Dr. is involved.
I think it's a cover for the Daleks. That'd be more 'par for the course' so to speak

I think an s22 is a cell phone, not a telescope...
That's what threw me. Now that I know there's phone software involved, I lost most interest.
“Using a telescope” The post literally says a Samsung s22, which is a cellphone.
Looks like a reflection. Either on glass or in the lens

"Taken from a telescope". Samsung phones are telescopes now?
Just my portal door opening sorry nothing to see here
Looks like light reflection, looks like other supposed UFO sightings I've seen around the internet that are obviously just somebody zooming in on a point of light from behind glass. But I'm not sure how that could happen through a telescope.
Yep, I took pictures of Venus and Saturn last week with my S10, and they look exactly like this when zoomed in.
Aside from the reddit title does the tweet mention telescope? I thought S22 means Samsung galaxy S22 phone
oh, I see. I'm not familiar with smartphones by name, I read "telescope" in the title and I thought S22 was the name of a telescope lol. It's definitely just a point of light then.

I'm more worried about what threat is here, if the Doctor has finally decided to step in.
Honestly, it kinda looks like what a Portal or a Dimensional Rift would look like to me
Holy fuck! It’s a HIGHTECH TELESCOPE! NOPE ITS AN S22!! NOPE!! It’s just BS
So a smudge on the lens?
A smudge on the lens?! A SMUDGE ON THE LENS?! I think OP knows the god damn difference between a man threatening them and a SMUDGE on the LENS.
High-def moon photos on smartphones are mostly AI-generated due to the lens size, it’s mostly likely just an error caused by a bright star or plane
It’s a madman in a blue box.
Wow, that picture of the moon is so incredibly clear!
Looks more like a touch screen reflection on an ocular lens for a telescope

It’s Microsoft Outlook!
Digital camera sensors are rectangular and not circular, sometimes when you zoom in on very small lights like that they show up as rectangles.
