I was standing out in the backyard, smoking a cigarette and saw what I thought was a bright star, but it looked too big for a star.

It looked like it had a smaller circle of light in the center and spikes of light all around it. It looked like one of those suns that children draw with a circle and the lines coming out all around it.

I woke up my wife and had her take a picture of it.

My wife pressed auto levels and colors came out. It looked exactly like this without all the colors before she pressed auto levels, though.
