Guys, just wanted to post some pics of the sun that I took very recently at about 8:40 am. I wanted to see if I could capture anything odd and something a little odd DID show up in the photos. :eek:

Have a look.

I don't know if this is the so called Planet X/Nibiru, but there is some light source to the lower left of the pics....

You guys should take pics of the Sun and sky too, just to see if really anything shows up....

Comments, anyone?

Anyway, the camera was an automatic camera, and the exposure settings were set to the lowest value possible in order to minimize the light, that's why the pics appear dark for 8-something in the morning.

I would definitely encourage anyone to actually go out and take photos of the sun and the surroundings in the morning just to confirm.

It's called a parhelion or "sundog". Anyone who has watched the skies for years has seen many of these. They can be quite stunning sometimes.

Sundogs may appear as a colored patch of light to the left or right of the sun, 22° distant and at the same distance above the horizon as the sun, and in ice halos. They can be seen anywhere in the world during any season, but they are not always obvious or bright. Sundogs are best seen and are most conspicuous when the sun is low.

Here's a sampling:
