It’s Called a “Moon Halo”

Posted by: Ryan Bellmore in Vox Populi, tags:

Last night, you may have noticed the peculiar ring around the moon. According to Georgia State, that was a “moon halo” caused by refraction off stratospheric ice crystals. The Farmer’s Almanac would like to chip in that a moon halo indicates impending bad weather, and that has a 90% chance of being true tonight.
