Why are my moon photos not Live anymore? Tips for iPhone night shots?

I set the exposure to the lowest and used minimal light to take this picture of the moon. For some reason, it didn’t save as a Live Photo this time. I’ve taken good moon pictures before, and they always came out as Live Photos, so I could pick the best frame. Anyone know what might have gone wrong?

Maybe because it’s a crescent moon, the details are harder to capture. Still, it looks beautiful tonight.

Yeah, I feel lucky I got to see it. And the star next to it made it even better.

I think that ‘star’ might actually be a planet. I checked online, and it says Venus is visible tonight.
