This was on the news a few days ago. They must have used one heck of a lens filter.

It isn't casting a shadow on the sun's surface; so it's obviously fake.

Who said that it is a shadow. It is the silhouette of the objects.

So I guess the solar elcipse is a hoax.

 

[Cyrus]

Jeeeeeeeeezus people, ever heard of sarcasm?

 

[Rach3]

Sigh...

 

[edward]

Sigh...

Ok OK everyone just knock it off and enjoy the freaking picture.

You mean the fake one?

 

[tribdog]

wow, awesome picture. They must have taken it at night.

 

[edward]

wow, awesome picture. They must have taken it at night.

That is the best time to take fake pictures. No one will see you.

 

[tribdog]

it's not fake. it's just that the sun is so bright you'd have to take a picture of it at night.

 

[edward]

You mean the fake one?

Wise guy. Hey a guy in Greece took a similar photo, but his fake picture was taken a year before the real fake picture.

 

[edward]

it's not fake. it's just that the sun is so bright you'd have to take a picture of it at night.

It seems like you would have to take it at night but there are some whizz bang lens equipment and a lot of digital diddies out now to filter out the sun.

 

[jpr0]

My question is: If the sun goes out at night, who reignites it in the morning?

That guy in Greece who has the camera also has an old olympic torch.
