+Derbyshire Dave Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 There was a weird halo around the moon last night.. Snapped these with my phone.. Don't think I've seen anything like that before. Such a wide clearly defined circle, does anyone know how it might have been formed? +Streetbob, +Graham, +Bino-viewer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottletopburly Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Nice one dave spotted it too having to lock the shed at 11pm 👍 +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Glafnazur Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Great images Dave, I wish I'd seen it, I love all sorts of atmospheric phenomena. It's going to be something to do with the moonlight being refracted in the ice crystals of high cirrus clouds. +Derbyshire Dave and +Bino-viewer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+RonC Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I saw one a couple of weeks ago but couldn't get it in my FOV!! +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I noticed it last night when I locked up the garage about 10:45 and decided it wasn't as clear as the weather forecast said it should be. Haven't seen many with the moon put plenty with the sun over the years (probably because I'm awake more often during the day!) +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
