weird a$$ ring around the moon tonight.

[Skew]

That ring wasn't around the moon.

That ring was around Uranus.

You knew someone was going to say it.

Bleaching gets rid of those.

I remember the first time I saw The Ring. I had just put in surround sound, smoked a doob (or two), and it freaked me the fug out!

Looks to be true...

Another one tonight. And there is another one coming off the moon right now, you can watch it slowly move away. So that means there will be a double ring around the moon!!

Ring Around the Moon

by Farmers' Almanac Staff | Monday, August 17th, 2009 | From: Astronomy

While stargazing, have you ever noticed a large circular band of light surrounding the moon? If so, you have seen a lunar halo.

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). A double halo, sometimes with spokes, may be seen on rare occasions when light reflects off water or ice.

The prism effect of light passing through these six-sided ice crystals separates the light into its various colors, resulting in a halo tinged with very pale rainbow colors with red on the inside and blue on the outside. The phenomenon of a lunar halo is similar to a rainbow produced by sunlight and rain falling between your eye and the sun.

Weather lore says a lunar halo is the precursor of impending unsettled weather, especially during the winter months. This is often proved true, as cirrus and cirrostratus clouds generally precede rain and storm systems.

Lunar halos are, in fact, actually fairly common. So watch the night sky – and keep the umbrella handy.

Well, he did say it was an ass ring. I don't really know what that is.

(probably don't want to)

[Mr. Scot]

It's aliens

Even worse than that...

Mr. Scot, I would post a pic for you, but... or you could just google Sarah Mercury.
