I don't know why it is dark inside the circle, but I think it is similar with the view in the Bruce Wilis' Armageddon, so may be this phenomenon is well known to Astronomists. Why is this??
The halo is caused by moisture in the air refracting the light, similar to a prism. At least, that's what I remember from my optics class 5 years ago.
Playing with magnifying glasses.
Did your camera lense burn a hole in the back of your camera?
Probably not very good for the image sensor.

Probably not very good for the image sensor.It's my friend's. But I don't think so, circlotron. I could even stare at the sun with my unshielded eye then. Now I realize what you were thinking. It has been a very long time since I retired from Boy Scoutting 😀
And yes, it is a halo. From the reading provided by pinkmouse, it is said that this phenomenon happend once or twice a week. But I'm sure that it is not the case in Jakarta. Here we have pollution, a slightly diferent phenomenon 😉
Oh, the ring of the halo was like a rainbow. cannot be seen from the picture.

It sure is a halo, We get this kind of thing in Australia all of the time, its normally ice crystals or moisture in the upper atmosphere, typical for humid places around the globe.
On that note i hope you didnt use your eye to take the pic through the veiw finder.
