Original Note:
This is a Falcon 9 rocket upper stage on its way to orbit. The glowing effect is the exhaust gas reflecting sunlight, as the rocket is still lit by the sun but the ground is already in darkness. The rings are pulses of the orientation thrusters (RCS). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_jellyfish https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_phenomenon
