22° halo around the moon
22° halo around the moon
This is a 22-degree halo around the moon. The halo was formed when high altitude clouds started to move in from west, and eventually hid all bright stars, and ruined this year's Leonids meteor shower in Pittsburgh. 2002/11/18 22:50 EST, Nikon coolpix 995, 8 seconds, F2.6, ISO200.
