Was walking back to campus and looked up at the moon and saw this MASSIVE white ring up in the sky. The moon's in the direct centre and a ring with a very large circumfrance (in comparison to the moon) around it.

Anyone else seeing this? I'd try to take a photo, but between the light pollution, it being night time, and not having a tripod I'm not sure it would work.



**edit: Just went out to try taking a photo anyway, but it's mostly gone now. Only a little bit of the NE bit of showing, but clouds are moving in and it's not easy to see.

 

teh aliens are invayding Canada.

Quick, you must escape!

 

LOOK!! It's UNICRON!

 

I saw one once here in Tucson. It was due to ice in the upper atmosphere refracting light back down. It was at night, AND during a full moon. It was eerily beautiful.

 

...You sure you're not high right now?  

 

I just asked Jesus, he's hiding in my refrigerator, and he said I'm alright.

 

It's rosie odonnel's mouth, she thinks your food!

 

Its actually a known atmospheric phenomenon: Moon Halo

Foil Hats! Foil Hats!!

 

Its a weather balloon... And nothing else!

 

I once saw a lunar halo back in January of 2002, when I was still living in San Jose. It was the first time I ever saw one. I was very spooked and excited at once, just by the very sight of it.

 

It always is a weather balloon. Now, how do you explain the weird "weather balloon" that comes out of my ass?

 

That's no moon.

 

yeah i seen it one time, purdy kewl.

 

I've seen those a couple of times over my 17 years of existence, and they never stop being cool.

 

Shoot It ! ! !

 

I've seen this before, too. It occurs (rarely) around here during the winter.
