(BROWN DWARF) NEXT TO THE SUN

Flare on window.

Next.

Looks like a filter flare to me.

Cool how it manages to vary in size and distance when the camera zooms in/out or moves.

the only brown dwarf about, is the one i just dropped in the toilet, a tsunami has already washed it away.

but it doesn't move when the camera moved.

Are you blind or stupid or both?

Because it is being created by the window - which isn't moving.

A 'filter flare' is different to a lens flare, in that it is not created by the lens - but by a flat plane of glass, somewhere between the bright light source and the camera sensor.
That's why these second sun images appear when a filter is held in front of the camera. (hence the name 'filter-flare')
Camera-phones also commonly create filter flares, because of the protective flat piece of glass in front of the lens.
Viewing something very bright - like the sun - through a window, will also create the same effect.
