Epsilon Aurigae
Hello, I am new on this site and have a question. I viewed Epsilon Aurigae on the 'astronomy photo of the day site', and viewed at least 6 noticeable shadows visible from/around this star. Are these "shadows" moons or planets?

Has to be diffraction rings caused by focusing or an abberation of the lens. I haven't seen this particular photo but that's my best guesstimation.
