East Laurel Road Facing East
Cloudy, with a nearly full Moon
Looking up at the bright moon, I noticed a very distinct halo around it. I saw a similar, although much wider, halo 2 nights prior, so I decided to research what causes a halo of light to form around the moon. I found that lunar halos are usually caused by high thin cirrus clouds, which makes sense because the sky was fairly cloudy when I noticed this occurring. I even noticed some of the distinct colors in the layers of this neat optical phenomenon.
