Moon

Hi and welcome to the forum.

The ring effect is caused by the illumination of the mountains that surround the Sinus Iridium or the Bay of Rainbows.

Under this light it resembles a curved "handle" sticking out of the side of the illuminated part of the moon. Sometimes called the "golden handle" or "Jeweled Scimitar" effect.
