glowing orb
Shining round shape
A glowing orb is a sphere that emits light—whether a lantern, celestial body, or something more mysterious.
The phrase appears frequently in fantasy fiction and video games to describe magical objects or supernatural phenomena: A glowing orb hovered above the altar.
In paranormal contexts, glowing orbs in photographs are claimed as evidence of spirits, though they're typically explained as dust or lens artifacts.
