Hey everyone! today I was looking up the sun's images recorded by nasa and I've tried to figure out what the body of light could be. I figured it could be a planet, but I'm not sure which one…
I'm not very educated in Astronomy…

Are you referring to the white squiggly mess on the right side of the image near the end of the loop?
That’d be the aliens coming to steal the sun again.
The planet that enters the frame towards the end of the video? I believe that’s Murcury. The small horizontal line is due to the brightness of the planet (reflecting the suns light) and how the imaging device reacts to being overloaded with light.
Selfie stick with a disk at the end of it to stop the glare
Nice shot of the Pleiades drifting through the frame.
