When you look at the sun or BRIGHT street light. Why does this surface?

ANYWAYS, When I stared at the sun for 1 second for every 5 second. I looked at it times 6 times. There are sometimes these shapes you can see after looking at the sun or a BRIGHT light. You can see them clearly when you're blinking! It happens to me.

How?
