Can someone explain to me what the other bright object next to te sun is? What caught me eye today was it was a weird cloudy day and there was a ring around the sun. Took a picture with my cellphone and this is what came up! Any ideas...thanks for looking. Sorry if this has been here before. Just found GLP a month ago!

And you do know that shooting images of the sun like that will kill the censor in your camera, right?

The censor has nothing to do with anything like that you paranoid freak.. Without the censor you take no pictures at all.

Looks kinda like this one, only different. I took this with the camera on negitive setting. About 1pm Phoenix time about a month ago. The shills said it was lens glare. I took 4 pics turned the camera phone 90 deg each time and the spot was in the same place. Far be it from me to know what it is.

If that's Jupiter, I have to ask how it can be imaged in broad daylight. I've never seen that before, it's it the correct position to be Jupiter, but how can it be?

I would venture a guess and suggest it's a reflection of the sun off the camera sensor onto the camera lens then reflected back to the sensor.. aka lens flare

Can't be just a lens flare... I saw the same thing with my eyes and not the camera (did show up on camera also). In Bakersfield, CA on 5/14/2011 at about 2pm PST

The past two days in CA we have seen this...it is amazing. We also took a photo that looks exactly like yours. My 12 year old came running in from his tramploine yelling there is a rainbow around the sun. We read it was called a sundog.

Are you talking about the ring around the sun or the smaller brighter object at 7:00 between the sun and the ring that you saw with the naked eye?
