   diffraction?

   I took a photo of full moon several days ago, using my iphone4s' camera,   
   with flash off, HDR (high dynamic range, IIRC) open. I found there is a   
   dark ring surrounding moon, then a bright halo (sky is clear). The halo,   
   I think, is by the scattering of atmosphere near the path of moon light   
   (Rayleigh scattering) , and for the dark ring (and there even seems a   
   second obscure dark ring), maybe only diffraction can explain, but how?   
      
   This is the photo I take:
