I live in northern IL and I saw part of a moon ring last night while looking at the blue moon this month. The moon was covered by a thin layer of clouds and the partial ring (semi circle) appeared on the lower half of the moon. On the night of 6/19/12, exactly a week after my father passed away, I was looking up at the evening sky and I asked my father if he could send me a sign, a shooting star (meteor) and seconds later I saw a HUGE shooting star/meteor. It flashed from left to right and it was so huge and bright, like a firecracker. It happened so fast before it disappeared behind the tall trees in my backyard. Truly amazing.

Man, I’ve should have done the same, I think last week or 2 weeks ago, I saw the same thing but it was on Venus, not the moon, all I had was my iPhone and the photo wasn’t great.

I’m 48 years old and I live in Kentucky. I have never seen the halo around the mo0n until 02-03-2012. It was right after my Sister passed away @ 7:30pm est. Some say it means 3 days of rain or snow. yes we had rain the next day. But call me crazy but me and all my family that was there when my sister passed away we think it was my sister letting us know she was in Heaven rejoicing with all of our family member that have done gone to meet our Lord and Savior. A lot of family,friends and our church Family saw this. But some friends that lives in the same town didn’t see this. it only lasted for a couple hours then it was gone.

I lived in bush alaska for years before seeing the Northern lights and was teased mercilessly for ‘kicking rocks’. “looking up”–its good advice, whether to see stars or if one is in an action movie

Are there halos of different diameters? I’m pretty sure I’ve seen one about 10 degrees in radius, because I realized that would be the size of Jupiter if it took the Moon’s place. It’s fun to imagine Jupiter (or whatever is size-appropriate for the halo) actually being there.

[...] had to go get my camera so I could capture the image and share it with you. Sometimes called a halo, these rings are formed by moonlight, which is reflected sunlight, refracting through ice crystals [...]
