It’s a lunar halo. I saw my first one last year and I’m 66.

It is called a Moonbow. same as a rainbow, but it is the Moon.

Congrats on seeing a 22 degree halo by the looks.

“Even though it is one of the most common types of halo, the shape and orientation of the ice crystals responsible for the 22° halo are the topic of debate. Hexagonal, randomly oriented columns are usually put forward as the most likely candidate, but this explanation presents problems, such as the fact that the aerodynamic properties of such crystals leads them to be oriented horizontally rather than randomly. Alternative explanations include the involvement of clusters of bullet-shaped ice columns.”

I’ve seen this before. Can anyone explain it?

There’s a halo ’round the moon
So I know it ain’t to blame
’cause I knew what love could do
But I loved her just the same
Then I let her slip away
Now I’m all alone and blue
That’s the price I got to pay
There’s a halo ’round the moon

Cirrostratus or cirrus clouds made of tiny ice crystals, refracting moonlight. Also named “22º halo” due to the refraction angle.
I live in rural South Carolina…I see these a lot in the winter.

That’s no moon, it’s a Space Station.

I’ve seen one of these in winter about 15 years ago. I also saw a solar halo last year in Hawaii. Both very cool!

What you’re seeing is the reflection of the ice wall in the earth upper atmosphere.. i mean hexagonal geodesic dome. If you look closely and see some small dots moving outside it, those are the dragons flying around in Asgard and the Hyperborean North. You can sometimes see the reflection in the moon of those undiscovered lands
