Any weird lines or blurs, besides the grains on the son wich are normal, are from the normal interferience from the atmosphere. The plane can be high enough to get some from it i think.

Edit: ok it might be from a camera with some nice equipment, but its the same thing. Equivilent of the picture of a damn nice, and what would normally take, a very big telescope.

Edit2: Sorry, I think thats from a 70mm refractor telescope(unless thats the eyepeice size of a damn big telescope)(im a little rusty on telescope terms). Wow thats good. The qaulity must be from the cameras lenses.

It's not fake you nipples. I have a 14" Schmidt-Cassegrain with a solar filter. You know it's true if I'm agreeing with Ait'al. Fuck.

EDIT: Found a pic of a SC like mine. Envy me.

That is definately a fake. The perspective of the plane is not right at all. The nose of the plane, and also the size of the wing engines and placement of the tail engine is off by too much to attribute to atmospheric distortion. Assuming that you're viewing the plane's under side, you would not be able to see the bottom front portion of the tail engine if the wings were banked the way they are in that pic. Yet in that pic, you can clearly see the entire tail engine. The angle and height of the tail is also off by quite a bit. And if you look closely, you can see a bit of pixel distortion around the plane's outline, where it looks as though somebody tried to blur the outline using the blur tool in photoshop.

ITs unproportioned. Period.

You're looking at the sun in an extremely zoomed in format. Thats like look at an ant on the ground while standing up, and putting your finger in front of your face.

The picture is likely misleading, trying to convince you France is worth something. fnord

The plane is in proportion if viewed correctly. The left wing looks a little odd because of the winglet sticking up, it looks like the wing is bent. The tail engine would not be blocked looking at it from this view. The 'pixel distortion' is most likely from jet wash.

That's because a huge fucking sun is behind it warping what it looks like.

You know how heat waves will make solid objects look like they're sorta waving around. Same thing happening to the plane.
