Rimmer Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Yep I can see it but doubt anyone in town will be able to, due to the other lights in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 maybe it will rain soon on the moon? I guess it is dirt in the air (of this planet) which brakes the light, or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWalkingMan Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I am too lazy to google... but I think those are ice crystals reflecting the light of the moon and creating the ring. Enjoy. TheWalkingMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazmlb Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 The moon can produce interesting optical effects when conditions are right. The most common of which are moon rings, moon bows, which are similar to rainbows, moon dogs and moon pillars. A rainbow is produced when sunlight is refracted through water droplets - A similar effect is produced when moon light refracts through ice crystals.

JimSiam Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 If I had a decent camera this is what it looks like to the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaigone Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Ice crystals refracting reflected sun light from the mood. If i remember correctly the arc or ring is always 22.5 degrees from the source. Very similar to a rainbow. If you look up "sun dogs" you will find out more. More info on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twschw Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 A lunar halo is caused by the refraction, reflection, and dispersion of light through ice particles suspended within thin, wispy, high altitude cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. As light passes through these hexagon-shaped ice crystals, it is bent at a 22 degree angle, creating a halo 22 degrees in radius (or 44 degrees in diameter).

thaigold Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I don't get it... is it a joke? No, it's ice crystals in the high stratosphere. Beautiful in the Arizona high desert. Just imagine, the Thais have never seen the Milky Way. So sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goshawk Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 its aliens, I suggest you leave Thailand immediately agreed.. They actually live in the Moon, but its not really the Moon as we've previously known & understood it. No, its a giant hollowed out spaceship whose alien inhabitants have been beaming down to Earth mind controlling energy to Humanity for aeons.. ...well, that's the new theory acording to .David Icke. so the 'ring' could be one of their transmissions... Quick.. run !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanV Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) OK, I understand the moon ring thing. I also understand the associative connection between Icelandic ash clouds and moon-ring-ice-crystals. But.. ..in the 'similar topics' list on the bottom of this page I read: "Thailand Child-Sex Ring Run By Monk Busted In Chiang Mai " Now, tell me, what is the similarity between a monk-run child-sex ring and a moon ring ? Assuming the monks are not disguised aliens originating from a hollow-moon-base of course. On another note: NASA runs a lovely website with pictures of various sky phenomena and other space related things: Astronomy Picture Of The Day [APOD] There are some nice moon-rings to be found there, too.
