SUMMARY

The discussion centers around a guessing game involving an astronomical object, initially thought to be a young star or Earth's moon. The correct answer is revealed to be Earth's moon, captured in a photograph with a contrail. The image was taken with a camera phone at night, and the participant humorously laments spoiling the fun of the guessing game while inquiring about accessing the internet control panel.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of astronomical objects, specifically moons and stars.
  • Familiarity with photography techniques, particularly low-light photography.
  • Knowledge of contrails and their appearance in photographs.
  • Awareness of internet terminology related to control panels.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the characteristics of Earth's moon and its photographic representation.
  • Explore techniques for capturing images of celestial objects at night.
  • Learn about contrails and their formation in the atmosphere.
  • Investigate internet control panels and their functionalities.

Earth's moon?
 
I'm going to guess a very young star with a planetary disk.

Who/What took the picture?
 
Pulsar.
 
First post ruined my fun. It is in fact the moon with a contrail through the middle. I took it on a camera phone late at night.
