My family and I stood out on the lawn for half an hour just enjoying the view. (GLP aka American Jedi) Listen here you beautiful bitch, I'm about to fuck you up with some truth.

| phoomp User ID: 1894576  Canada12/23/2012 11:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No disrespect, but if you keep calling it a "moon ring", then you didnt see what we saw. This is something that can only be described as MASSIVE. It was breath-taking. I really thought something was about to come through it. Like a "door" had opened.

You mean like all of the other posts in this thread? [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30670652 [link to www.farmersalmanac.com] A lunar halo is caused by the refraction, reflection, and dispersion of light through ice particles suspended within thin, wispy, high altitude cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. As light passes through these hexagon-shaped ice crystals, it is bent at a 22 degree angle, creating a halo 22 degrees in radius (or 44 degrees in diameter). A double halo, sometimes with spokes, may be seen on rare occasions when light reflects off water or ice. Moon dogs are cool. I've only ever seen faint ones. And, ya, you'd need a good camera on a tripod to photograph one. Quoting: phoomp Also, the conditions for moon dogs are highly regional; you need ice crystals in the air between you and the moon. 10 miles away, and the conditions might be different. I'm vary drink right now but it is because of the ice crystalsh causing it. It is very beautiful. Quoting: #Geomagnetic_Storm# Last Edited by phoomp on 12/23/2012 11:21 AM |

Quoting: PolarPrecursor I think the point is to 'look' because it is beautiful. Just because the phenomena has a scientific reason for occurring does not take away from the beauty nor the magic when witnessing said. The OP is simply attempting to share his or her awe and excitement at beholding something beautiful. Just because it has a labeled 'box' does not really change anything.  :)  Difficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |
