Having horses at home means we go outside more often than we might otherwise.
One night last week during evening chores, the moon had a rainbow ring around it. Other barn minion saw it as well, so it wasn’t just my eyes. I also saw a thin band of bright blue shading on the side of the moon itself, from about the 7 to 11 clock positions. He didn’t see that.
I wondered how it would look through the camera. The answer is, totally different.
The moon was waxing gibbous, four nights from full, 75% illuminated. Internet says what we saw was a moon halo, and is caused by refraction through ice crystals. No idea what the camera was looking at.
Cool.
