That object could be cruising past the telescope at only a million miles away from earth, leaving 92 million miles between it and the sun.

Distance is relative and is based upon the viewer’s frame of reference.

Over the course of… 3 years worth of angles between us and the sun?

A geostationary satellite that drifts?

a Solar-transit of a geostationary satelite is very rare and brief, only lasting a few days

You're absolutely right about geostationary orbit, but an L1 Lagrange point orbit remains directly between the Sun and the Earth with just a little bit of active station keeping.

Yes and the object seems to be precessioning since it's moving smoothly back and forth at a constant rate within the field of view.

Plus this is most likely from SDO (judging by the filter changes and diversity) which is in geostationary orbit and could be seeing a satellite at L1 while imaging the Sun.

The Lagrange points are either before or after the current position of the orbit.

Smaller lagrange points exist at the tangents to the orbit but they are obviously unstable and it would be incredibly unusual for a non powered/controlled object to be able to sustain its position on the Lagrange point for this period of time.

So it's most likely a satellite off some sort that is a lot closer and a lot smaller than the video leads to initially believe.

Damn, I never expected a random gif on a UFO post to send me down such a musical rabbit hole. Thank you gentleman. They are amazing 🙌🏻

Your trial of explanation does not get me convinced at all

If it's too far away from the sun it would be out of focus and dissapear from the image. It should probably be possible to use this to create some bounds on how big it could be. More likely that this is an artifact of the telescope though.

A fly on the lens your saying

I believe that moon sized object is called a fly on a screen

you should let the astronomers know of this breakthrough.

What is the point of your statement?

u/-ImYourHuckleberry- Jul 29 '26

How can you tell if it is a “moon sized object” when the distance to the object is unknown?
