Question

Answer 1

It actually was not a ring a round the moon but a moon bow
A rainbow made from moon light and high altitude ice or water particles in the atmosphere
It will appear anytime these conditions exist

Answer 2

You're seeing the effects of ice crystals suspended high in the atmosphere. The light of the moon hit's the crystals, and is reflected out about 17 degrees, making a dim white ring around the moon.

Answer 3

The halo is caused by upper level ice crystals formed by moisture in the high atmosphere. The moon light is refracted much like light on a prisim causing a ring around the light souce ,which in this case is the moons light ,that ultimately comes from the sun.

Answer 4

Beautiful isn't it. I saw it too from the Enterprise. The ring around the Moon is caused by the refraction of Moonlight (which of course is reflected sunlight) from ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. The shape of the ice crystals results in a focusing of the light into a ring. Since the ice crystals typically have the same shape, namely a hexagonal shape, the Moon ring is almost always the same size.

Answer 5

If it is a coloured ring it is called halo or carona.If moon's light is refracted by ice crystals of cirrostratus cloud,it is called halo.On the other hand, if the light is diffracted by water drops of altostratus cloud ,it is called carona.In a halo the red colour will be inside and it will be outside in a carona.

Answer 6

yeah, in Norway the "ring 'round the moon thing" happens like all the time during winter... it happens when the weather is changing and normally it will rain or snow a few hours the morning after......
