Astronomers Investigate Giant 'Bird' Near the Sun

Recently, a peculiar image of an object resembling a giant bird near the sun has circulated on social media, with its apparent size estimated to be ten times that of Earth, raising numerous questions about its nature and origin.

The mysterious object was detected using the LASCO solar telescope.

Experts from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory at the Russian Academy of Sciences reported that they observed the object a few days ago, initially considering the possibility that it could be a massive galactic object.

A Scientific Explanation for the Phenomenon

Russian astronomer Alexander Kiselev suggests that the most likely scenario is that the object is a passing comet approaching the sun, where intense heat causes the evaporation of volatile materials such as water and carbon dioxide, creating a bright tail that resembles wings in the images.

Alternative Explanations for the Phenomenon

Kiselev also noted that the observed object could be a plasma formation in the solar corona, an optical illusion caused by the angle of the image, or even a technical malfunction in the observation equipment, indicating that the phenomenon may be natural rather than supernatural.
