What a great sight tonight! As I was leaving work, I noticed a faint circle around the moon. I drove to Lake Winnipesaukee, by Governor's Island to get a better view. I was not disappointed! So grateful to witness this phenomena.
Sometimes called a moon ring or winter halo, it's formed from ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere, refracted by the sunlight.
The halo was quite large. It has also been an early warning of a storm coming!
