October Outside: Moon Halo

I was tweeting and surfing when one of my friend posted on his Facebook regarding moon ring. So I just go outside to see if there is ring but unfortunately sky at my place wasn't doing a good job; it is cloudy. Basically moon ring, or known as Moon Halo or Winter Halo occurs because of refraction in tiny hexagonal ice crystals in the air. As per description above I didn't manage to take any picture but I manage to compile pictures from my friends. So just sit back and enjoy.

There are more to come, so stay tuned and you may go outside by yourself and contribute some pictures. Also, don't missed out the opportunity to enjoy some Draconids meteor shower.
