  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

5 years ago, it could be photoshop. Today it could be AI.

Could be multiple exposures.

Could be a mirror moose, with the light hitting its antlers and doing a peerfect total internal refraction towards the observers camera at four distinct points

Eh.... Tell me you're not a mirror moose denier.

Modern phones take multiple exposures. 

the clouds in from of the sun  may it’s not a reflection or refraction. 

so in guess: iPhone photo taken from a moving vehicles, does depth stacking or whatever they call it, creating 5 suns.

Shouldn't there be some blur if that was the case? I think the safest bet is mirror moose

I’m quite sure there are 5. Look again

Multiple exposures was my first thought.

It seems to be a real, but extreme example of a [sun dog](Sun dog - Wikipedia https://share.google/P7Z6H8tzW7X3pTJ3D)
