Green orb in photos?

I have, every time I try to take a moon or night sky shot get that same glow orb but mine moves erratically

No Spirits needed! You have some beautiful examples of a problem that plagues photographers.

Notice that, when the sun is above and to the right of the center of the picture, the "orb" is below and to the left. And, when the sun is above and to the left of the center of the picture, the "orb" is below and to the right. Just like a mirror image-- which is what it is.

Glass is transparent-- light goes through it. But about 5% of the light actually reflects off a glass surface-- even the inside surface. Getting an image like yours requires at least two reflections, so only a very tiny amount of reflected light reaches the sensor. This reflection happens every time you take a picture, but you seldom see it.

Modern lenses are made of multiple pieces of glass, so there are lots of internal reflections. The interface between surfaces is specially coated to reduce the reflection to much less that the usual 5%, which does wonders for eliminating flare and spurious images . But if the light source is very very bright, like the sun, or like spotlights on a dark concert stage, you can see the reflected image. The image may be different colors, because the amount of reflection reduced by the coatings depends on the wavelength. Green is the center of the spectrum, and the anti-reflection coatings have been more successful with the longer and shorter wavelengths.

You can use the "retouch" tool in Photos to remove the green spot, if you'd like.

We just returned from Green Lake in Maine. My wife took many sunrise photos on her iPhone 13! Those same green orbs appeared and they are not from the spirit world! I hypothesize that they are caused by low lighting conditions! Why? Because many other images were captured in daylight and the orbs are absent!

Keep the bright point sources out of the frame to avoid creating the lens flare, or use a shield hood or tree or person to block the point sources from falling upon the lens, or post-process and edit the lens flare out of the image, or incorporate the lens flare into the style of the image. (I have some night shots with myriad point sources, and the lens flare adds to the image.)

More than a few films and series and games will insert lens flare into their visuals, as an example of a particular visual style. For many of those images using computer graphics, those don’t have point sources or lenses, so the lens flare is explicitly added.

This is called lens flare.

Lens flare is caused by bright point light sources within the frame.

This whether the light sources are from the sun, streetlights, headlights, or otherwise.

Lens flare is inherent in how lenses work.
