In the past when people did not have access to calendars, some cultures tracked months by the appearance of a full moon. The ring around the moon here looks ethereal but has a scientific explanation. Ice crystals cause the refraction of light from the moon that creates a luminous ring around the earth’s lunar satellite.
Awesome photos of the moon, Julia! A friend says that she sees a rabbit in the face of the moon. I don’t see it. Do you?
Thanks, Su-siee!
