 Pretty full moon tonight. It is behind a thin cloud and is making a huge halo around the moon. Which I have seen before. But this one has all the folors of the rainbow. Halo is huge, probably fit 8 or ten full moons across the diameter of the halo. Never seen that before. What is the name for this atmospheric phenomenon? https://images.app.goo.gl/eJcw8gYcpaGCesdB9 |

Quoted: What is the name for this atmospheric phenomenon? Diffraction. But not moonbow, there's only one place on earth where that happens. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: And where is that? Cumberland Falls, KY. There used to be another waterfall in Africa that had a moonbow, but an earthquake changed the geometry enough to eliminate that one. Or at least this is what I've always been told, pre-internet, haven't made any attempt to confirm. . . . . Well okay, a quick googling says I'm not 100% correct:  Whatever. But I've seen it once, really not very exciting. |

You should probably plant your crops or start a war. Not sure which one though.
