WHY Are ALL the BIGGEST Observatories SHUT DOWN?

What is it then? That's why I came here to ask the question.

The video below includes Venus for reference.

A freaking normal star probably, that this dipshit is zooming in on.

In the form of an octagon... mkay, right :)

Yep, right - because the collimator leaves form an octagon.

Why?

Ask the manufacturer of the camera why he chose to design the collimator leaves this way.

How would you know it was designed that way? Do you know what camera was used?

Basic optics 101 - You should take a lesson, would prevent you from making a fool of yourself.

Ah, so this most be a real space donut.

The Apocalypse is coming, all the prophesied warning signs are clearly happening across the planet all at once. Now there's a reason for the elites to go into there UNDERGROUND MINICITIES without any average person knowing they've gone there. And there's been rumors coming from the astronomy acedemia community the past couple months that earth is going to be in the middle of a massive asteroids debris field filled with millions of asteroids ranging in size from buses to the state of rhode Island. Then there's TRUMP'S executive orders the past two months concerning the U.S. SPACE FORCE COMMAND having to deal with oncoming ASTEROID threats.

Then there's NASA hinting around conjectures the past month that there might be a significant sized black hole at the outer edge of the solar system. And subsequently that this is the cause of all these ASTEROIDS DEBRIS FIELDS being thrown into chaotic orbits now through the inner solar system. AND that jupiter had a collision with a wandering moon half the size of earth a few years ago and the debris from that collision is also floating around the inner solar system.

Bottom line, EARTH is in for a shit storm far worse than the movie ARMAGEDDON.

Actually looks like an eye to me

Nice work.

Yep, and that's basic optics 101 - You should still take a lesson. And it still would prevent you from making a fool of yourself.

It looks like the shape of the mirror in the telescope which took that picture, which is why it's shaped like a donut. On consumer cameras it's very common to have an iris or an aperture shaped like a hexagon or some other polygon, and that shape will be reflected in the out-of-focus point light source, whether that's a bright star or a planet.
