What is that brown stuff around the planet Xahea?

}
In Star Trek: Discovery, Season 2, Episode 13, "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part I", another Red Burst™ leads the ship to the planet Xahea, home of Queen Me Hani Ika Hali Ka Po, who Ensign Tilly met in the Short Trek "Runaway".
It does not look like any Class M planet I've ever seen. It has some sort of brown ring around it, though it doesn't make a simple ellipse around the planet. It's more snake-like.
Assuming everything with that color is the same substance, I'm unable to think of any combination of forces that would create that shape.
Much less can I guess what the substance is. Any ideas?
My only partial guess is that it has something to do with dilithium mining. If that were a huge plume of waste from the mining process, and if that waste were electrostatically charged, then I suppose the planets magnetic field might draw the material to where it circles the equator like that.
