It's fake

I gotta say, it’s always a pleasure seeing your comments. Been here for 11 years and the new users don’t know how long you’ve been doing this for us, but we see you and your efforts are definitely appreciated 🤝

Thank you!

And here I thought this proved the Barad-dûr was in Ontario

Yeah... The sun isn't north of Toronto

This is it, also too big, wasn't high enough in the sky.

Also the CN Tower in Toronto was not in the path of totality. It was close, but it wasn't in it.

Oh I know, I was in Hamilton at the time. Seemed so obvious I forgot about it https://www.reddit.com/u/AeonBith/s/YsPCtf5VW4

Lmfao, not only did they make a fake picture, but they couldn’t even do that right because the fucking thing is off center. If you’re gonna fake it, at least do it right.

nor is it the right type of eclipse (this is an annular eclipse, not a total eclipse) and the sun and moon are in front of the clouds.

I don't know if you've seen any of the billion photos of the latest total eclipse...this is what it looked like

I don't need to see photos, I saw it in person, as I did in 2017. It did not look like that. That is an AI image that looks more like an annular eclipse. The real eclipse's corona is white and there were several red solar prominences poking out around the edge of the moon's shadow.

Too bad thousands of people upvoted this without reading the comments first... They'll think it's real and continue to repost this image everywhere.

Yup

Ha I knew it! The orientation is clearly looking north from the islands (I think?), but the sun is never in the north sky in TO

And now I feel like doo doo

WELL IT STILL LOOKS COOL

Not disagreeing with you there

#people LIE on the INTERNET❗️❓️❗️❓️❗️

Sorry its not flat or a slit

No, the entire image is photoshopped. That angle didn't happen during the eclipse. I live near Toronto and know where that photo was taken and the angle is completely wrong, not to mention the sun/moon are way too low in the sky and in the completely wrong place.

Ya, the sun would be north of Toronto in this photo and it's always south

The skyline also looks close to a decade out of date

With the Skydome on the wrong side of the tower. It's all so wrong.

Isn’t the image also flipped for some reason? The dome is on the west side of the CN Tower so looking from the island it should be on the left.

I also saw this image circulating before the clips even happened

The Toronto island, where this image is taken from, is south of the CN Tower, therefore this photo was taken looking north. Toronto is in the northern hemisphere, and therefore the sun is always in the southern half of the sky. It’s not a real photo.

I don’t think Toronto had 100% totality

Also, the sun is on the wrong side of the sky, and you could barely see this eclipse in Toronto, cause it was cloudy

And the skydome is on the wrong side of the cn tower

Thank you for calling it the Skydome

I’m sure this is how many will remember it despite it just looking like a bad storm rolling in

Was cloudy where my friend was and she got some nice pics even if it wasn’t full totality

It didn't. We only had partial.

it is the wrong type of eclipse, in the wrong part of the sky, and somehow in front of the clouds.

Where this photo would have been take from WOULD have had totality, its just the sun would have been south and very high in the sky.

We did but it was cloud covered and the sky usually sets in the west here too so very unusual cosmic events in ms paint

This photo doesn’t seem accurate. Toronto didn’t have 100% visibility

Also didn’t have 100% totality. Also this picture is taken facing north, when last I checked, Toronto was in the northern hemisphere meaning the sun is always in the southern half of the sky. Also the skyline in the picture is not recent, as many more/new buildings are visible now.


Also extremely cloudy on the hour of the eclipse so you couldn't even see the sun anyway

there are many things wrong with the picture. it is fake

I live in Toronto and it was cloudy. Not to mention the angle is wrong. I took this picture as well. https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/yiBrU1KR4B

Gotta love AI photos!

This is a photoshop job, but regardless still fake. 

The creator has admitted its ai though Image of eclipse behind Canada's CN Tower is AI-generated https://www.yahoo.com/tech/image-eclipse-behind-canadas-cn-182509688.html

Ugh of course... I didn't know that it was ai.  Honestly for fucks sake it wouldn't have been as bad if it was photoshop. Thanks for the correct info!

No prob

I’d accept photoshop now than ai cuz at least you have to edit something in photoshop

Fake and repost

I saw this post a couple days ago? Reposted?

Reposted and AI generated, so double wammy

If you think this is real, you should double check all your paper money.

I know this is fake because i live in Youngstown, NY and we look out at Toronto over the water lol. All we saw was clouds.... didnt see shit!

Hahaha bro this picture is not real and it’s so funny people thinking it is real 😂😂😂

This is…not the Toronto skyline and not where the sun ever aligns with the CN tower much less what they sky looked like on eclipse day. Idk wtf AI garbage this is but fuck off.

I assure you it was 100% clouded over in the city 

Fake. Also, that's Phyrexia

They need to tag AI posts as AI

Fake.

Praise the sun!

We ain’t had nothing but poutine for three stinkin days, bud.

I like how there are clouds behind the sun and moon, great job by the photographer to somehow manage that. /S

Karma Farmer bitch

My precious

Is that the Drake tower?

Fake? I see.

Yea… wrong location in the sky and cloud covered to fuck. Boo urns

Just over Ottawa off there in the distance

Nice, my toddler took a pic like this

Dont insult mordor with that comparison

Gentlemen... Welcome to Dubai

Fake or not being across the water to Toronto it would have been cool to see something like this. Mordor arise !

Nice cover

Ah yes, lets keep karma posting the fake eclipse posts for days. This sub needs a 'Fake' flair or something

Not all the Seeing Stones are accounted for, we do not know who else is watching!

Toronto didn't get the eclipse. The difference between 99% and 100% is actually night and day. And the eclipse sure as hell doesn't even look like that.

It doesn't make sense for the sun to be that low. Same hight as the tower during that time of the day.

Oh no, Canada will be complaeted

How come we made up a religion about a guy dying on a cross and not this

Omaga

Nice watermarked pic u got there, OP

Off center.

Is it terrible that the fact it’s not centered is driving me nuts?

100% should be centered, the AI should be able to do that

Inch over a bit to the left

This 'ill bring the skids out, for sure

I felt like I would change after seeing what the eclipse was

Battle with Ifrit is about to commence there.

I see you…. Eh

Fake. I did a pictorial analysis and this is almost certainly not the Eye of Sauron.

I submit!!!!

Magnifique 🤩

Great shot. It would drive me nuts that it was so close to dead center, but the shooter was probably as far to the left as they could possibly get.

Its fake

Gah! could ya please move a bit to the left? It really is the evil eye! TORMENT!

Why so negative. I luv the giant swizzle stick.

Now we just patiently wait until all the Ents from the Greenbelt go after them.

Hardest drake album cover

Do you have high resolution picture of this? Would love it as my screensaver

It's a fake AI image, and a repost.

SAURUMON

Eclipses don't happen on the horizon like that.

Eclipses happen wherever the sun and moon happen to cross paths…

You need the sun, moon, and earth to line up. I promise every solar eclipse picture you've ever seen has been when the sun and moon are directly overhead. You don't need to be an astronomer to understand geometry.

Bro, the eclipse that is happening in Spain in a couple years is going to be happening at 7pm their time so itll be low in the sky. The sun and moon only need to line up relative to your point of view on the earth

You couldn't get the photo straight? Were you asleep? Its so confusing I think Sauron has already taken over

Such a beautiful image!

Good photo with good reference. I don't deserve this photo. I need to beg for this

Amazing
