    Bouncing white dot on the screen of my phone's camera when I aim it to the moon
    Ok, so a while back, I decieded to take a pic of the moon with my phone's camera. When I aimed it I saw that on my screen, there was a bouncing white dot going around the moon. It only appeared on the screen. It was not a bug, or a star. I was thinking it was some kind of signal in the air that only my camera picked up, but I really don't think it was. Thank you!! :)

    Phone cameras can produce weird effects of things in motion due to the rolling shutter, but I can't think of anythign in motion here.

    Was it present on the picture? Can you upload it?
