Der Halo um den Mond steht nicht von meiner Kamera, Sie können ihn mit bloßem Auge sehen. Es sieht toll aus. Ich habe so etwas noch nie gesehen. Was ist das? Derzeit in Großbritannien genommen (20:35)

A halo around the moon, also known as a lunar halo, is caused by light from the moon refracting through ice crystals in cirrus clouds
[22° halo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/22%C2%B0_halo)
22° halo is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a halo with an apparent radius of approximately 22° around the Sun or Moon. It forms as sunlight or moonlight is refracted by millions of hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere.
I see these often, they’re caused by ice crystals in the air refracting the moonlight. I see them around the sun sometimes too, in the winter.
It’s also called a moon dog I believe. I have a picture of one I saw. Neat!
After significant study, a panel of experts has confirmed it as: The Moon.
Really neat huh? I’ve seen it have multiple halos at once before. Very auspicious experience.
If you are alive, then it is ice crystals in the upper atmosphere reflecting moonlight.
If you are dead…then head that direction.
My wife and I call it a 360 Moonbow or Halo. Occasionally see it in the winter when there are ice crystals way up.
I’m no astrophysicist, but I’m pretty sure that’s the moon… but it could be Uranus. 🤣
From Wikipedia that explains it better than I could.
A 22° halo is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a halo with an apparent radius of approximately 22° around the Sun or Moon. Around the Sun, it may also be called a sun halo. Around the Moon, it is also known as a moon ring, storm ring, or winter halo. It forms as sunlight or moonlight is refracted by millions of hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. Its radius, as viewed from Earth, is roughly the length of an outstretched hand at arm’s length
According to my granma it means the moon is staring back at you.
I’ve seen halo effect with naked eye. More than once actually. And mostly around winter time.
I got an amazing video of this the other night!

So you know how rainbows are light reflected by water in the atmosphere? This is the same idea.
Same thing as a sundog, but at night from a different light source
The moon behind clouds. It’s not all that rare, but it is unusual.
Moonlight White
White Like Eyes
Not Eyes But Blood

I’ve always called them fairy rings; when there is enough moisture in the atmosphere to cause the moonlight to form a refraction ring. Kind of like a single colour rainbow.
it’s the moon!

“A ring around the sun or moon brings rain or snow upon you soon.”
When the red moon hangs low, the line between man and beast is blurred. And when the Great Ones descend, a womb will be blessed with child
Saw a wonderful perfect circle tonight in South Wales UK (unusual for us to have clear skies)
Light refracting off of the ice crystals in the atmosphere around the lit moon.
How’s this moonbow https://darksky.org/news/5-stunning-moonbow-photos/
I call them moon dogs because they are like a sun dog but with the moon. Might be just a Canadian term and never thought of the fact that they aren’t normal in other parts of the world because of how common they are here.
I had seen it before because it is a lunar halo and it is amazing to look in the Sky at night during different moon phases
I don’t recall the atmospheric conditions involved but this is a natural phenomenon. I remember watching the moon on such nights from back when I was a kid.
Get them in VT quite often. I dont think there is any correlation, but normally it happens the night before snow is forecast.
It’s a halo around the moon or a lunar halo.
*fuzzy story* My father told us kids before he died that if we saw a halo around the moon that it was him telling us he loved us.
Hijo de la luna.
It’s the corona that forms around the moon if moonlight refracts through clouds
Not only are these common, whether clouds are above or not, but the halo’s presence usually indicates a change in weather soon.
Halo Moon 🥰🥰 I remember the sky looked like this the night my step father passed away
