Why is there something like the moon in the photo I took of the solar eclipse?

The sun during the partial solar eclipse is indeed a bit like the moon, but there are two differences.

1, this eclipse is quiet and has no obvious surface features; On the surface of the moon, there are large dark areas such as the moon and the ocean, which are easy to identify.

2. If the two sharp hooks of the sun are connected together during the partial solar eclipse, they will not pass through the center of the sun; If it is the moon, it must pass through the center of the moon, although this is not obvious.

Because the lens is composed of multiple lenses, it is not uncommon for another image to appear under the reflection between the lenses.

If the sun is in the center, this phenomenon will not generally occur, and it may be like this photo where the sun is not in the center. The biggest feature is that the real sun and the image are symmetrical with the center of the photo.

The method of shooting solar eclipse by mobile phone;

When shooting a solar eclipse, if you use a SLR camera, you can't focus directly on the sun because the convex lens has the function of focusing. When light passes through the lens, it may damage the camera. Even the external lens of the mobile phone can not be used directly, and it may be dangerous, so it must be used in conjunction with the subtracter.

Note: even if you use sunglasses to reduce the light in front of the lens, the effect is not good, and there is a danger of collapse. Don't try this method easily. It is best to use Budd membrane or special ND decompressor.
