Tonight in Hannover, Germany, I saw something absolutely magica. A bright ring around the full moon! Apparently, it’s called a moon halo, and it happens when moonlight is refracted through ice crystals in high-altitude cirrus clouds.
It was a supermoon too, which made it even more stunning. I’ve never seen anything like it before. It looked like the moon had its own glowing force field.
Have you ever seen this phenomenon before? Is it common where you live?
Would love to hear your moon halo stories!

Moon dog?
Very beautiful!
i saw one of these in the netherlands about 10 years ago. absolutely stunning!
Very common here in the southwest of the US. But always great to see.
It’s nice to see this moon
Well, no. This happens all of the time, but there is so much light pollution where most people live that you can’t see this kind of thing from your home.
