The Moon's Haloby ~heavyatom

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Sky

Mine's bigger. Ha.

Anybody got a name for this? I saw it, but did not know exactly what causes it.

~Lykaios Dec 20, 2008

That is called a moon halo. They are mostly caused by ice crystals in cold cirrus clouds located high (5–10 km, or 3–6 miles) in the upper troposphere. The particular shape and orientation of the crystals is responsible for the type of halo observed. Light is reflected and refracted by the ice crystals and may split up into colors because of dispersion, similarly to the rainbow. (from wiki)

These guys are cool, and kinda rare from what I gather, but I have seen a few. Nice pic of one.

oh my god. thats crazy. what is going on there. thats not supposed to happen haha. wow. that's an amazing find and capture.

~neolithos Dec 19, 2003

nice capture! not sure what the name is... yours is as good as any. it may be due to ice crystals, a quick cooling trend. i have often seen that to be a prediction of rain ahead.
