What is the blue dot in these photos. It's not some heavenly body which the eye doesn't see?

Is it flare from the moon? Or something on the sensor?

I got similar flare in some shots when I was taking photos of the eclipse last year.  I reduced it by reducing the shutter speed a bit, which also brought out a little more detail of the surface of the moon.

I think it's something technical- I have no idea what. It's on almost all the photos I took of the moon but not always in the same place. I hope it's not G'd fucking with me.

It's a reflection inside the lens of the bright spot of the moon. It will move about in relation to the framing of the bright spot to the geometry of the lens interior
