Hole in planet from space?

While flying back to the contract terminal in space, I noticed a sudden reflection/hole in the planet with "burning embers" in it. It looks like flames are flickering even when the game is paused at the menu.

When I look towards the spot, the "hole" disappears.

It reappears again when I look towards the station. I added a red arrow to the final image to point out its location. The "flames" appear to have drifted out of the "reflection", so I'm wondering if they're relative to the engines.

However, that doesn't explain why they are still flickering when the game is on the pause menu.

NOTE: Somehow I was in the wrong area and opened this as feedback instead of a bug. I have re-opened the ticket as a bug, so you can close this.

This does bring up another idea for a support board enhancement. In addition to a "Cancel Ticket" button, you could allow the ticket to be re-assigned if it is opened in a wrong area. People could take care of this for you on their own tickets when this happens. For feedback, a "Reassign as Bug" button. For a bug, a "Reassign as Feedback" button.
