Perhaps. The color seems right. But I don’t know enough about photography or lens flares to confirm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6QzEhBGhes

(That was a clumsy Segway ) was just checking on the Parker Solar Probe. On April 19 it is due to start another ecliptic orbit around our sun via slingshotting around Venus for speed /trajectory assist. It will come to 1.34 light minutes or 15 million miles from the sun. This is a great accomplishment for celestial exploration.
Just wanted to say my piece.

Each separated by almost 90 degrees from the others. Three of them, Regulus included are on or very near the ecliptic.

The others in question being Antares in Scorpius, Fomalhaut in Piscis Austrinius, and Aldebaran in Taurus. Fomalhaut is the odd one out since it is not part of the zodiac.
