I didn't think this was possible ? could it be a reflection on the clouds ?

thats no moon.

according to a handy app called photopills, moon would have been setting WNW at about 8am.

lens flare caused by shooting directly into the sun.

Oops!

Forgot to answer. It's the sun reflecting off the moon as they're opposite each other.

I thinks what he means is that you can only see the parts of the moon that are lit up by the sun. if the moon is between us and the sun, the lit part of the moon is facing away from us. when we're directly between the moon and the sun, we can see all of the moon that is lit by the sun.

So full moon is always on the opposite side of the sky to the sun.

Wasn't just a full moon but a lunar eclipse ended a couple of hours before that, a well as a setting moon, so the Earth was very much between the Sun and Moon.
interesting pic though.

That is some sort of refraction in the atmosphere. It's the sun you are looking at...twice

It's just Empress Theresa and Darth Johnson taking the new Death Star for a test flight.
