Moon Ring

This is formed when moonlight is refracted in millions of randomly oriented hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere.

Tomorrow evening, the bright star, Aldebaran, to the upper left of the moon will disappear behind the moon

I heard about this after the fact, and did not see it.
So glad you did, and what a great photo!!

fine shot...the curves of the power lines seem to echo the ring..

Fascinating image of this phenomenon. Nice with Orion off to the side. Good time of the year for star watching. "V"
