Come on people.. "It doesn't look blue so it's a lie"
Blue star
Are you really suggesting that the person who took the picture was really an astrophysicist who meant there was an actual 'class O star' within the atmosphere?
Why would you even defend the idea in the first place?
Just being alternative and rooting for the underdog?
No, it's a lie because it's a well known phenomenon caused by a mass of excitable fools pointing cameras at the sun.
And the logic of it being there at all is not compatible with reality.
Do you have any scientific data to back up your claim of it being in between the clouds? As much as i have with my opinion.
"Classic" as in your opinion of off-topic opinions of people you believe are "scientific". Werd.
Look you are free to have your opinions. I don't find them offensive or anything.. but i do think declaring your opinion has scientific authority is misleading.
You BELIEVE this is a lens flare. Got it.
Blue stars shine ultraviolet. So.. generally humans can't see that part of the spectrum. Meaning that kind of light is "hidden" from our un-assisted sight.. like cells and atoms.
I'm not saying there is a blue star flying behind the sun.. but if you folks want to understand what is being proposed rather than just saying "it's a lens flare" it might make sense to read what the article is saying.

Going through the discussion it looks like everyone was having a fun time trying to figure out what it was and giving their opinions.
Hoax? What is the hoax?edit on 11-12-2012 by PeterGriffin because: accidentally quoted someone

The Hoax is simply this.
Go outside and look up on a clear day.
How many suns do you see?
The answer is one. Because there is only one there.
Anyone who claims there are two suns in the sky, without taking into account this simple fact, is hoaxing you.

On 11-3-2012, I took two pictures of the sunset. Later that night while reviewing the pictures, I noticed that the sun had another sphere on the left side of it. Both were taken from the window of my van while I was driving with 20 seconds in between each photo. If it was glare, it would have bounced around because of me driving and appeared in different spots..

I just presented the report, which was a legtimate report with photos purporting to what the person who witnessed this thought it was, but there was no intention for hoax!

However, there is no hoax here. A hoax is defined as "a humorous or malicious deception"

"So I checked the next morning before I put them on the internet, and theres only one sun"
"So I asked my friends who said 'don't be stupid, theres one sun in the sky'"
"So I thought to myself, hell, theres billions of people on the planet, why aren't more people discussing this - is it on the TV news?"
"So I thought - hey - I use the net, I'll do some research"
