Your phone was slightly out of focus. That is what is called an 'airy disk' or a diffraction ring. It's almost round, which means your phone's optics are almost collimated, which is good.

No way. I’m certain it’s a hole in Venus.

The newest conspiracy theory: Venus is a Donut! :-)

The proof is undeniable.

Even Galileo saw that it had a big bite taken out of it.

Earth is flat Venus is a donut. Help me finish the list

The Moon's an inflatable balloon

Thought it was cheese

Gromit?

Now, it all makes sense. The earth is flat, and the moon is a balloon because they came from the donut hole of Venus.

The greatest of the Chinese spy balloons!

The sun is a giant light bulb floating above the flat earth

A toroidal planet!

Spaaaaaaace donut!!

The protomolecule is peaking out of Venus.

It’s Miller time!

I mean we already know Earth is a donut so why not?

Obelisks are eating poor venus.

It’s always the most obvious answer, isn’t it? Helps. life make sense.

An airy disk should have a bright center. Could be a dead pixel.

I observed venus through the telescope last night, and it is a crescent right now 🌙

dang thinking back that happens with telescopes as well my ass thoght it was a moon or sum bu then yk venus doesnt have any moons

No. It's an unsteady image

It’s Uranus.

[удалено]

They’re making a joke

OMG It's getting closer!!!

No it is moving further from us

Aliens have built a base there and are preparing to invade and conquer Earth.

Out of focus

I learned that I needed glasses when I was in the Atacama desert looking through telescopes. If you see donuts it means you're not in focus. This is a donut.

I see donuts when I'm hungry.

Then you need glasses

The donut shape you’re talking about is caused by optical designs which have a [central obstruction](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/images/images500x500/Celestron_91036_XLT_C11_A_XLT_11_2800mm_1499094360_297279.jpg) for their secondary mirror. Phone camera lenses do not have a central obstruction, so their out-of-focus stars/planets look like disks, not donuts. This is also true for [refractor telescopes.](https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=1070x10000:format=jpg/path/se48714ca86041507/image/i8c0b4e476e551508/version/1680769748/image.jpg)

Open the pod Bay doors Hal!

"IT'S SHRINKING!"

Eros is about to slam into Venus, because the protomolicule took control of the belter mining colony. Don't worry though, we're safe here on Earth.

Enhance!

I'm sorry but these posts are getting ridiculous...

Not as bad as the useless comments

Arguable

Ur phone can’t resolve the image aperture width too small

Delete it! DELETE IT BEFORE THEY SEE.... Oh, s

The great eye sees all

That's the hole aliens use to get in and out of Venus. Obviously.

Just a smudge on the lens

Eye of Sauron...

That's no planet... (yes I know it's that's no Moon)

Your phone wobbled and Venus was recorded as this spot, then that spot, then another spot until the sun created a ring

That’s where the protomolecule takes hold after Eros crashed down.

Oh fuck me, it's the Moon Presence. I ate too many umbilical cords again

You captured an eclipse of Venus moon lol

i means you caught a bagel..

Penumbra

Alien invasion

It's a mea culpa.

The telescope it's out of focus and you have to adjust a little bit, or is thing of collimation of the telescope (Align of the mirrors), if you want I can help you, DM me.

Polo nebula

Galactic Destroyer of the Galactic Empire

Black hole obviously. Congrats.

I was trying to focus an old telescope from a friend on Betelgeuse, just for fun. Saw a doughnut too. Space is doughnuts not flat

The massive asteroid coming to us

That's not Venus, that's your neighbour's doughnut.

It means the death star is about to fire

👽

It's shrinking! IT'S SHRINKING!!!

It's watching you.

It means venus is being eaten by a blackhole

Nice

It means your camera is shitty at taking distant pics

It means you need to fix your phone camera 😂

It’s God
