Lunar halo - just take my word for it!


Tonight we have a beautiful lunar halo (a luminous ring that is sometimes seen surrounding the moon, caused by ice crystals high in the atmosphere that refract moonlight).

I tried to share this with you by using my 'state-of-the-art' digital camera and this is what I got! Yes, I did use my flash light and if ET is living out there, I'm sure he must have noticed me down here in the Netherlands. But unfortunately it is very hard to see the lunar halo in my pic. So if you live in my neighbourhood: just look outside! If you live somewhere else - bad luck. But you can always click on this link to see some better lunar halo pics made by photographers with more talent (and professional cameras).
