NASA’s latest video of the Sun has sparked a wave of speculation, with a mysterious “orb” caught soaring past the blazing star.
While conspiracy theorists suggest it could be a UFO, experts clarify that the object is, in fact, the Moon in the midst of a rare “lunar transit.”
This event, captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, shows the Moon blocking 23% of the Sun’s light, a phenomenon only visible from space.
The transit lasted about 30 minutes and is part of a series of similar events, with the next occurring in May.
While the sight has captivated UFO enthusiasts, it is just a natural cosmic occurrence that helps scientists study the Sun’s impact on Earth’s space weather.
