Its just the clouds brotha. I used to love staring at this circle walking home at night 15 years ago.
If I remember correctly it only happens when the the right conditions are met up there with ice crystals.
It’s an optic property of the firmament like rainbows.

This is called a Moon Halo. It’s a rare phenomenon, happens mainly in colder regions. Just happens when ice crystals in the atmosphere are able to scatter and reflect the light from the moon. Conditions of course have to be perfect for it which is why it’s rare, but yeah. I live in the US northeast and see these all the time.
I just realized this is the sun. Don’t question it. But uh, I guess it’s the same thing just.. with the sun.
Wait, no. This is the moon. Moon is bright asf.
It’s a moonbow. I’ve seen this twice in my life and it’s truly amazing. Looks almost exactly like a Halo ring.
That’s a moondog, dog.
Happens all the time.
Pretty sure it’s caused by light refracting off ice crystals in upper atmosphere.
It happens with the sun sometimes also.
Get those sometimes here in Aus… Means it’s going to get cold AF for the next few days. Caused by ice crystals in the upper atmosphere reflecting light as said above. What it means to most people is.. it’s gonna get coldd.
This is not rare. This happens all the time now due to what they spray in the sky throughout the day. This is the remnants of silver iodide, amongst other chemicals. Look up “cloud seeding” on your local state website.
Saw it too! It’s odd that it’s happening here in a warm environment. Last time I saw it was before a huge rainstorm in December in Joshua Tree (much colder)
Not a conspiracy…just weather…
Known natural phenomenon
Why is this in conspiracy sub? What are you trying to tell here? 🤦♂️
Soooooo uhhh. Anybody else gunna ask what the conspiracy could’ve been?
FFS it’s not a conspiracy.
The conspiracy here is that OP is learning about a lesser known weather phenomena for the first time
Calm down, OP. There is nothing conspiratorial about this.
Reminds me The Creative Act: A way of being by Rick Rubin
This happens when there are ice crystals in the air, which refract the light and create the ring. I’ve seen it a few times near me in NY and have pictures on my phone of it.
No conspiracy, friend.
I get that not everybody knows that this is a halo, let alone having ever seen one. For everyone, even the smartest person on earth, there is a lot more that they don’t know than that they do.
But I will never get that some people think of a conspiracy first if they encounter something that they do not understand.
Global warming
Damn some of yall really have never been outside
Rains in ur future
It usually rains after this. My grandfather taught me
It’s going to rain
You really don’t look up very often huh
I see this at least once a winter here in phx az
Gorgeous
i see this a few times a year. pretty cool
Water crystals in the sky cause the reflection. Same thing can happen during daytime with the sun
The true conspiracy here is the deliberate dumbing down of people in this day and age. Like dude my 12 year old knows that’s ice crystals refracting light.
Where’s the conspiracy?
Ring around the moon, means rain soon.
modern science says it’s caused by ice crystals xDDDDDDDDD
It means a weather change is coming
We are posting lens flares now?
Costa Rican here, that’s just a moon halo and it surprises me that is not seen as often in other places. But down here is pretty common.
Maybe something related to the weather, latitude or just well, tropical climate, who knows.
ah pity i can’t post photos here but i’ve taken a similiar moon ring right next to an aurora in Norway.
I’ve seen one of these before. Really cool and beautiful
Why we don’t do a quick google search before putting something in a conspiracy Reddit?
They can do that shit AI
What happens when chemicals are in the sky?
rains coming
this happened a few weeks ago for me
