Can Anyone Explain This?

Ten minutes ago, I went outside to partake in the jazz cabbage, and I decided to test my iPhone 16 Pro camera. I saw a bright star by Orion’s Belt and zoomed in x25. When I opened my Photo Library and looked at the picture (on the left), I noticed how bizarre the space around the star looked but after about 1-1.5 seconds, it snapped to the quality of the photo you see on the right, which looks as I would have expected at x25 zoom. What in theeeeeee black spaghetti sky is going on here? Is it an effect of the lenses/camera? I would like to know because if I just discovered something legit, I’m calling dibs. TIA!
