Strange image

[pedroticy]

Hi, I'm not an astronomy photographer or anything like that, but I was testing my samsung s22 camera night mode and took these 2 pics with no more than 20 secinds apart. 30 minutes later, after many pictures taken, i went to my room and found this image. Just to satisfy my curiosity: can anybody help me with what this might be? Maybe one of you had the same image before or it's a common image you get when you picture tmstars....

I did not see it with my eyes, only in the photo. Is it just an artifact? 

Thank for any help

It could be a meteor or fireball, the oirionids peak was yesterday 21st October and known for their fireballs. I've tweaked the image and zoomed in. It appears to be some break up and flaring suggesting a fireball but you'd have seen it with your eye's too so maybe not.

Whatever it was it was spiralling

Not sure, but this was a light artefact when I imaged Uranus last Oct

So maybe something like that.

If it is some sort of meteor its a fantastic capture, however my instinct is that it's something more mundane. Is it possible you walked in front of the camera during the exposure? This is the sort or thing I might expect if somebody had, particularly if they had a headtorch or glasses reflecting another light source!

It looks to me like a rip in the space - time continuum. Did you see any strange shimmering off worldly entities looking for a cheese sandwich after the event?

I thought the doctor fixed that rip.

I think this is fascinating, it actually looks like it’s meant to be there

It was a light artefact from the moon which was close that night, I have the month wrong it was Jan the 6th 2021.
