Walking the dog, above my head there’s a beautiful atmospheric phenomenon. A lunar halo. This circle around the Moon—it’s not lens optical aberrations, but a real circle overhead, visible to the naked eye, though it doesn’t come out well in photos (just like the Moon). A lunar halo. It appears when Moonlight passes through thin clouds high in the atmosphere. These clouds are made up of tiny ice crystals that refract (bend) and scatter the moonlight.
