This picture kind of has a familiar meaning to me. I see this happen every now and then with the sun. I've never seen this happen with the moon, but it is just as interesting. This apparently happens from when there are very thin clouds in the sky. There are little, tiny ice crystals in the clouds that bounce light all around and make the halo shape. Now the next time that I see one with my family, whether it is with the sun or the moon, I will be able to tell them why it looks like that.
