When out looking at the Northern Lights me and others around me noticed a cluster of “stars” I used the star finder app and could only come up with this for Taurus? Anyone got any other ideas? 20/01/26 – 10:00pm United Kingdom

So to confirm I am based in the UK and was out at 10pm surrounded by others which is when we were taking pictures of the northern lights but this stood out to us. My friends have other pictures which show the “stars” as multicoloured and looks like they are part of a more body structure.
The star finder app admittedly looks similar to what is in the sky but clearly not a cluster like in reality?! Very intrigued if anyone has any ideas on this!

I can’t believe this constantly gets re-posted, also on astronomy subs. I think we should have Astronomy 101 at school…

Posts stars in a UFO sub “what is this?” “Stars” leaves the post up for no reason.

Yeah this is why I stopped believing in UFOs because people post stars and think they are UFOs.

Edit: I see several people beat me to this already lol. Either way, congrats, it’s a beautiful nebula! But couldn’t be further from UFO territory 😛
