Radial Symmetry of the Orb Crescents

Photo date: September 12, 2015.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The unaltered photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We see here the strange, inexplicable things I call orb crescents. Note that the orb crescents are arranged in a kind of pattern showing radial symmetry, like the pedals of a sunflower, or the wedges of an orange. Each of the white round sides of the crescents is facing away from a point in the center. It is as if they are emanating out of some kind of strange vortex in the middle.  See here for other examples of these orb crescents arranged in a radial symmetry pattern.
