Moon Halo

Moon Halo

Last night’s moon halo.

The 22° moon halo is caused by tiny ice crystals in the upper atmosphere refracting the light on its way to our eyeballs (or my camera). There’s a faint glimpse of Orion in the upper left.

 

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Robert Frost
