Explain this huge, bright object in the sky, please?

Very beautiful picture thanks :) My friend in Sweden has been telling me about the beautiful aurora going on for many weeks now up there. The camera has to be set on long exposure in order to capture this brilliance. If a planet-x comes into view we will all know it immediately, sure the bigger observatories can keep something quiet for awhile but once amateur astronomers see it then there will be news all over the interwebs... Just the same, thanks for this link op it made me smile :)

SOLAR FLARE WORKS!

Auroras has been showing up far south in Scandinavia lately, a lot of stunning pictures to find. [link to www.storm.no]

Thats Odd,I would rule out planet x because this is too far north. There would have to be more pics from different sources to call it anything more than what Astronut says.
It could be something related to the CERN collider. Isnt that up there?

...It's the Moon.

You know, looking how it always looks when people take long exposure shots, which are necessary to cpature auroras.

Do none of you know how cameras work?

Your reactions are tantamount to agreeing with the next dumb shmuck who posts a picture of a reflection or a lens flare and says "I found something new!

And CERN is in Geneva. In Switzerland.

This cannot be done with prolonged shutter speed. The stars are too pin point and any shutter left open long enough to capture that much light the stars would have streaked even a little bit especially the dimmer, greater distances stars.

Shutter speed tards explain how long the shutter was left open to capture that much "Moon Light" on a non-full moon with that much bright reflextion on the lake.

If it is photoshopped WOOT! Nice one beautiful pic either way.

Clearly not long.

You know, if this post, which is even at the top of this page, with photos exactly like this dating back to at least October last year, maybe further, is anything to go by.

And not to mention how this 'object' matched up with the coordinates of the Moon at the time.

But, hey.

timelapse/slow shutter speed/overexposed moon

This.

I confirm with Starry Night Pro.

I think if something was out of the ordinary the nice folks would have had different comments.

Beautiful picture taken at around 10:00pm from a cold, still place on earth:

you didn't see the bright object at first????? mmmk

You people are obsessed with CGI. It is a light filter that allows for the exaggeration of luminosity or as others have said, simply night mode and longer shutter exposure.

If there were a mass showing of UFOs you people would be the first to shout... oo, oo CGI, there would be an extraterrestrial shaking your hand and you would be shouting.... oo, oo holographic CGI with censor manipulation. Lol

Why is discernment so irrational lately!!

Hey look, magic!

No, I didn't shoot through a telescope for that shot either.

Shutter speed tards explain how long the shutter was left open to capture that much "Moon Light" on a non-full moon with that much bright reflextion on the lake.

Easy to do if you use a high ISO, fast focal ratio, short focal length lens. A barn door tracker helps too, but may not necessarily be necessary if you do it just right, especially on a low resolution web copy of a photo.

my god... its full of stars

Fantastic photography, beautiful picture. Looks freak'n cold, I can feel my skin burning and teeth chattering. Looks like the moon overexposed.

I've got an idea ...
Since we don't know what it is,
Let's make up a stories
About how it must absolutely, positively
Be Nibiru or a Wormhole or a UFO or a God
That is here to grant us ascension immortality
If we only have enough faith
And then stick with that story
Despite all emerging evidence to the contrary.

just did a little translating, and here is the info on the picture... translated from norwegian to enlgish

Good morning, here it is, a clear sky, beautiful winter weather with the temp: 3.8 Eastern 1.7 m / s Barometer 1030.4 Have a good day everyone


it's a morning sky... sunrise... stop being a dickhead and spreading hysteria through hoaxes.

hehehe lmfao funny funny

Your "magical photo" is nothing special at all my 11yo can take that pic with a 3 mp pocket camera!
nice try though!

^ this

Nope, the photographer states that it was taken last night. If it was 10pm, he'd say last evening.

Well, guess it has to be the moon then...

Five pages of speculation about THE SUN ... only at GuLPers

Jupiter!

Thread: JUPITER IGNITION!!!!!!! (Page 326)

Good, let's see you do it then. I await your result.

Astronut, what kind of telescope do you have?

It's the Pledeians again. Fuck YEAH!!!

8" LX200 Classic

Yep, along with overexposure.

Cute:

It's the moon.
