A moon halo – it requires certain conditions including ice crystals in the upper atmosphere – which distorts the light this way. See: [What is a moon halo? | Space](https://www.space.com/moon-halo)
Similar to rainbow but made odd by reflecting off the moon first.
High altitude ice crystals that refract the suns light.
It looks like a [22° halo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/22%C2%B0_halo) around the moon, due to the accumulation of ice crystals in the atmosphere.
As the sailors say, ring around the moon, bat weather’s coming soon.
Veritasium has a really nice video on rainbows where he describes higher order rainbows. This is one that you can observe directly due to higher order diffraction off atmospheric ice crystals.
Hexagonal ice crystals refract the light (during day the sun, moon at night) at a 22 degree angle: https://cloudatlas.wmo.int/en/22-halo.html
r/atoptics can tell you all about stuff like this
It’s cool isn’t it! I saw my first halo around the moon this winter. The sky is very interesting during the winter months, such a variety of colours too.
I have taken a picture of this years ago….why am I not able to share my photo?
The Winter Halo. Google it up. Same principle as the rainbow, but at night, and from the moon.
The moon is powering up, soon it will unleash its true potential.
Meteorologists call it a sundog. Happens when the temperature is at the perfect point along with the angle of the sun to illuminate the frozen ice crystals in the upper atmosphere
It’s basically a rainbow, but refracted through ice crystals instead of raindrops.
I really recommend you to watch this video from Veritasium about rainbows and this halos: https://youtu.be/24GfgNtnjXc?si=qPTSjXKiVS4VnRdZ
Moon halo. Very similar to sun dogs.
Fun fact: sun dogs are biblically accurate angels; and are hypothesized to be the visual phenomenon that nomadic Bronze Age tribes would witness during times of struggle or prosperity.
The moon is very dusty, so it always has a cloud around it, but you can only see it when you start to go blind.
Wow I saw one yesterday for the first time in my life pretty cool
There is a veritasium Video about rainbows. This phenomenon is explained in it too
Lizard people!
(Sorry, everyone already had the right answer and I just wanted to feel included.)
My grandpa always said that this means there’s going to be rain. It’s not a scientific statement of course but I always found it interesting.
