Original Note:
This is out-of-focus video footage of the planet Venus. https://x.com/MatthewCappucci/status/1868052013164134899 Two optical effects cause this to look like a rotating object: the circle of confusion because the lens is not properly focused on the object, and scintillation (twinkling) due to the Earth’s atmosphere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_confusion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinkling
