Weird red/pink light coming off the moon?
Something very strange I noticed last night - the light emanating from the moon, normally white like the surface of the moon, appeared to be a slight tinge of red to it. It wasn't noticeable off the illumination it gave around me, but if i looked directly at the moon i could tell that the light around it was slightly red.

Any explanations for this? There was a very thin cloud between the moon and I, but I've never heard of a pink cloud unless its sunset, and this was at like 1am.

If it's night where you are have a check! It's very subtle so look carefully...

Well, any theories? Because I know what I saw.

Check for yourself.

Saw this on new news. Ice crystals in the air. Almost like a sundog.

I saw the same thing too. To me it looked a rust red color. I saw it last night and also night of the full moon.

Yeah rust red sounds accurate. And now Im not talking about those weird rings that form around the moon, I'm talking the peculiar fact of the light discolouration

Re: Weird red/pink light coming off the moon?
The skys in UK are kinda of weird at the moment. Sort of like a red/orange color. The only way I can describe the color is, like a fire color.....Weird fucking weather too.....

About an hour ago, very calm and peaceful...Fucking birds chirping in the trees across the road. They have been chirping since 12am GMT, then BANG.......The wind has picked up really fast and very strong. The red/Orange sky is filled with weird looking clouds that are moving NNE really fast. I have never seen them move so fast in my 32 Years.

Yes, the UK gets weird weather but, I have never seen anything like this at all. Something is Up..........

Friend of mine told me flowers budding near where she works.... Birds are chirping during the night... Lack of seeing & hearing birds after sunrise..... Warm Winter. Just some of the many things WRONG...

Also, in the last week that I have been checking USGS, there has been so many 5+ EQs. The bottom of the USGS was mostly 3s & 4s and then suddenly were getting loads of +5s, plus the 2 biggie earthquakes in the last few days....Seems things are ramping up and ramping up FAST......

Re: Weird red/pink light coming off the moon?
it's a lunar rainbow / moonbow. it's kinda rare that you can see a white ring a round the moon and even those times a prolonged exposure photo would reveal the colors, but this time all colors are visible with the naked eye. i've certainly never seen one like this, either, but it's an extreme of a relatively common occurance.

Re: Weird red/pink light coming off the moon?
I bought my dad a refractor scope for x mas and on
Christmas night we tried it out. I live in the UK. After we
Assembled the scope we decides to gaze at the moon with
The strongest sight we had. To my amazement I seen a bright
Beam of light coming from the right side of the moon.
I didn't know how to explain this and also shown my dad
We both seen It and I wasn't seeing things.

Can anyone explain this? The moon was lit up by the sun in an
Almost but not so full moon, yet this beam of light clearly stood
Out and it was a lot brighter than the moons surface itself.

Try a moon filter next time. Then see if the light is there. Usually you want to use a filter for near full moon's because it can be really bright.
