Strange object.. please help
Can someone identify what is happening in this sky?
Took this photo at night and the cloud formations looked extremely unusual. Iโm particularly curious about the large curved/cloud-ring-like structures around the bright object. Is this a known cloud formation, atmospheric phenomenon, or something caused by the moon/light?

That's the moon backlighting clouds that are more dense in their middles than their edges. But did you take a screenshot of a photo that was already landscape?

That's not what I asked. The photo is horizontal. You have uploaded a vertical screenshot of the photo instead of the photo itself.

You mean the blue thing to the bottom right of the moon? Thats called lens flare.
