Why Was One So Much Bigger?

Photo date: November 14, 2019. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the photo below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background.  We see one orb a hundred times larger (in area) than the others. Inside the orb you can see more than a hundred little circles.  This is not at all an effect you can reproduce by putting a water drop on your camera lense.  A drop on the lense will result in a photo looking nothing like what we see here.
