What's Up With The Moon Tonight?
So, I'm standing in my backyard and I look up at the sky and the Moon has a gigantic black ring around it. Like taking up 1/4 of the sky.
Google is no help, so I'm turning to fellow DVDTalkers to help me out.
Can anyone else see this? What the hell is it?
EDIT: Google does have the answer, as with all other things. Apparently something to do with ice crystals in the atmosphere when the temperature is right a light refraction or something or other. Sure looks cool though:

This is due to what happened today. The Earth's orbit changed and we are slowly starting to move towards the sun and will burn up in about 6 months. However the media has been too focused on Ferguson and stuff to bother reporting on it.

A black ring, you say? Is Ray Rice currently dating the moon?

A space dragon is about to hatch from it and lay another moon exactly the same size of the previous moon. Yes the moon is a egg.

Great photo, although I have seen halos around the moon several times, this is a really great photo and I want to say thank you for posting it.
