Could be a mirror moose, with the light hitting its antlers and doing a peerfect total internal refraction towards the observers camera at four distinct points
I couldn't find the exact source, but it looks much more like multiple exposures than anything else. For example, it is entirely the wrong shape, distance, and number to be sun dogs.
I found a few sources saying it's an extreme example of a sun dog, and a video, which I suppose could be AI. Another, mentioning two whole suns in Russia.
Sun dogs happen at a specific angle and result in up to three bright spots. There are 4 lights. They are spaced unevenly and far too close together. There is no distortion and there is a cloud in front of the rightmost image. This is a timelapse of four pictures. The "video" is just the still image with motion effects added.
Yes, you'd have to be above the Arctic circle. Search "midnight sun timelapse" images, and you'll find lots of examples. It is not actually a straight line, but moving on a curve. At this level of zoom, the curve is not apparent
Yeah idk, I think it'd happen near the solstice at 'night' when sun doesn't really set but yeah I guess it'd never be perfectly horizontal and I don't live in the Arctic circle myself so have never seen it. Maybe it's all a big hoax, who can say
This could only be Mayans Aztecs and Egyptians all working together with "one other things"....remember how there's one other thing besides tortillas in the new American food pyramid? Now you know why.

5 years ago, it could be photoshop. Today it could be AI.
Could be multiple exposures.

Those are a myth

Eh.... Tell me you're not a mirror moose denier.

Modern phones take multiple exposures.
the clouds in from of the sun may it’s not a reflection or refraction.
so in guess: iPhone photo taken from a moving vehicles, does depth stacking or whatever they call it, creating 5 suns.

Shouldn't there be some blur if that was the case? I think the safest bet is mirror moose
Zoot@reddthat.com · 3 pts · 193d
There are only 4 lights
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 193d
I’m quite sure there are 5. Look again
eatCasserole@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 195d
Multiple exposures was my first thought.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 194d
It seems to be a real, but extreme example of a [sun dog](Sun dog - Wikipedia https://share.google/P7Z6H8tzW7X3pTJ3D)
gedaliyah@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 195d
Is there anyone here who doesn't think this is obviously a timelapse (of the very cool phenomenon of the sun moving horizontally)?
SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world · 7 pts · 195d
Nah, it was trying to evade capture - fortunately, we have much higher speed camera phones nowadays.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 194d
I don't think it's a time lapse. I think it's neat and that's about it.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 194d
Yes. Because I googled it.

What did you find in your search?

Where in the world would you get that phenomenon
silasmariner@programming.dev · 7 pts · 195d
Alaska, it says in the post
guy@piefed.social · 0 pts · 195d
Well yes but imagine if this was real, where could you possible get a picture like this
silasmariner@programming.dev · 11 pts · 195d
Well the sun will move horizontal to the horizon near the Arctic circle during summer. So... I mean, still Alaska
guy@piefed.social · 2 pts · 194d
I'm from just about the arctic circle and it doesn't really look like that. I think.
Maybe if you go above the polar circle

I assume you're joking since the caption says Alaska, but... Alaska (for one).

Lack of caption and context combined with willful disinformation and ignorance in general.
