Stargazing Question about my photos of a Full Moon -- What is this point of light?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a user who captured three photos of the full moon, each featuring a bright point of light in varying positions. The phenomenon, observed in previous photos as well, raises questions about its nature. Forum participants suggest that the light could be a satellite, possibly the International Space Station, due to its visibility and movement across the sky. They recommend using planetarium software to identify the object accurately. Overall, the bright dot is likely not a stationary object but rather a satellite moving relative to the moon.

I have just taken three photos of the full moon. I am in Southern Spain and the photos were taken around 22.40 (CET).
In each of the three photos, taken within seconds of each other, there is a bright point of light (a dot). In one frame it is in front of the surface of the moon. In the other two frames, it can be seen in the top right quarter of the sky next to the moon (in different positions). A year or two ago, I took a similar succession of photos and saw the same thing. On that occasion, I took more frames and the bright dot could be seen in each of them, but never in the same position. Because of the speed that these frames were taken, it could look like it was a single point of light travelling across the face of the moon and travelling off to the side, and going behind the moon (maybe, that's just fanciful?)
Can anyone explain what this is, please?

I would add the frames here, but I can't see a way to upload photos.

There should be a button marked "Attach files" just below the reply box. A thumbnail should appear below the reply box once you've selected a file, and it should have a button marked "Insert..." over it. Click that and select Full image.

Or if you are using the reply box in rich text editor mode, click the image button in the bar at the top of the box (it's rectangular with a stylised sun and mountains) and use that option.

Edit: by the way, the forum software automatically resizes large images and small features can be lost. You might want to post the images and also cropped images of just the part with the bright dot. Or host the images elsewhere and link.

Uploading the photos would certainly help, but what you are describing sounds a lot like a satellite. Are you usually able identify satellites when you see them with your naked eye? You can confirm a satellite and which one with planetarium software such as stellarium.

That would be my guess too. "Going behind the moon" is more likely "going in front of the moon and being lost against a bright background".

The International Space Station comes to mind. It's very visible to the naked eye. It doesn't sound like Elon Musk's Starlink satellites since you would see a string of them.

As the Earth rotates, a geostationary satellite would take about two minutes to cross the full width of the face of the Moon.

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
Both have short pulses of emission and a wide spectral bandwidth, covering a wide variety of frequencies: "Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are detected over a wide range of radio frequencies, including frequencies around 1400 MHz, but have also been detected at lower frequencies, particularly in the 400–800 MHz range. Russian astronomers recently detected a powerful burst at 111 MHz, expanding our understanding of the FRB range. Frequency Ranges: 1400 MHz: Many of the known FRBs have been detected...
