Post by: hubblebubbles on December 16, 2013, 20:31:13 PM

I know its cold but just go out to look at the moon right now as there is a fantastic ring round it .Really beautiful .It is 10.30 as I am writing this so not sure how long it will last but so worth looking at .

Yes I noticed about 9pm when walking the dog...it's lovely. Apparently its a lunar halo and is there due to cirrus clouds floating thousands of feet above our heads!

I tried to photograph it but the ring was so big and the outcome just didn't do it justice.

Yes I tried too to take a picture but the ring is too big . It is so fantastic to see so I hope someone with a posh camera can manage to take a picture.

I took a few photo's as well but they didn't come out too well, strangely enough even though I went right down the garden I couldn't get far enough away to get it in the picture very well!  8)

Same problem with me - the halo is too big.

I took it with a 17mm lens otherwise it would be impossible

I saw a similar one some years ago.
Not sure if this is classed as a waxing moon,?
Not hard to see why our ancestors were fazed
by the stars. I still get fazed by heavenly bodies.!!    :P

The chinese landed a buggy on the moon 4 days prior to this folks.Serious they did.  Word has it they have opened an inter galaxy chinese take away. Traffic was busy that night and you just got the reflection.  That s my theory.  Time for another Efes!

Worth noting that the UK gave £25 million in overseas aid to China this year.    >:(
