    Eclipse Solar
AI Thread Summary
A solar eclipse was captured using a 3.2MP mobile camera, resulting in videos and photographs. The user inquired about an orange circular sphere visible in the images, which was identified as an internal reflection caused by the camera's sensor being overloaded by the bright sunlight. It was noted that pointing a camera at the sun without proper filtration can damage the device. The discussion emphasizes the importance of using appropriate equipment when photographing solar events. Overall, the thread highlights both the excitement of capturing the eclipse and the technical challenges involved.

The sun was way too bright and overloaded your camera's sensor even though it was partially obscured. What you have captured (away from the center of the frame) is an internal reflection. It's usually not a good idea to point a camera at the Sun without proper filtration because you can damage it.
 
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...
