I might not be seeing what you're seeing, but I see pinkish edges of what looks like a big circle or sphere.


Looks like light traveling/refracting through the moisture/ice/gasses in the fog. It could belong to a large number of optical phenomenon. Sometimes referred to as a rainbow/fog bow/glory/Halo/parhelion/anthelion/corona. The bright spots on the outer edges are almost sun dog like.

Could just be the oh so loved/hated "artistic" lens flare effect

This tidbit is particularly interesting. http://science1.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2005/25feb_titan2
