It's part of a halo, caused by the ice crystals from what looks like
Cb anvil on the right - and therefore caused by reflection/refraction
in ice crystals, not reflection from water droplets as in a rainbow.

Can't tell exactly what halo effect it is without details of where in
the sky it was in relation to the sun, however. Nice and bright.
