Does anyone else have a view of the moon and it's halo the last three nights?

Christo888 · 01-29-2010, 07:11 AM

I am curious how widespread the view of moon halo's are, so can anyone else see the moon halo either tonight or the last few nights?

Sup man!! I was wondering if the moon halo phenomenon holds any merit... the link above claims the halo forecasts weather moving in and depending on how many stars are in the ring determines how many days away the bad weather is. Looks like two stars in the halo but no bad weather on the way? Super cool looking though!!

There are clouds and fog here almost non-stop for more than a month

But very early this morning (or i was actually still night time) during my bathroom break (i somehow always wake up) i saw this very bright light coming from behind the clouds. The moon was setting i think (judging by the position) but the light it was giving away was truly bright.

Phtha · 01-29-2010, 07:39 AM

Yea! I noticed that here the last few nights, to cloudy tonight to see it though... I'm a little surprised you see it down in Cali as well.

Yesterday and the day before there was a massive halo surrounding it, even when it was a cloudless sky. The moon also 'reddened' near by clouds when they were in the sky, especially as it neared the horizon.

I didn't take any pics of it, but here are some pics I snapped a few days ago of clouds with these rainbow colours inside them. I've been noticing these quite often the last few years or so, they appear in the daytime when the sun hits them. The camera does not pick up all the colours, and the colours that the camera does pick up are not as vivid as when viewed with the naked eye.... have you ever noticed these?

Mercuriel · 01-29-2010, 07:54 AM

While I would like to give You news that the Rainbow Colors You are seeing in the Clouds are Benign - I cannot in all good conscience, do so...

The reason why We're seeing Rainbow Colors in the Clouds nowadays is because of all of the Barium and Aluminum Oxide being dispersed by Project S.H.I.E.L.D. - Formerly, Operation Cloverleaf since 1998 approx.

This Rainbow effect is caused by refraction of the Sun's rays through these Chemicals (A Prism-like effect that is) which now lace most Cloud formations Worldwide...

Phtha · 01-29-2010, 08:02 AM

Thats was my first and best guess to Mercuriel.

I've seen many chembows in the chemtrail clouds when they hit the Sun at the right angle. They do look quite different then when in natural clouds though.

I also wondered if chemicals were the cause of the moon halo these last few days, I've seen massive chemhalos around the Sun in the day after heavy spraying.

Christo888 · 01-29-2010, 08:02 AM

I have only seen small little smidgens of rainbow clouds over the years... but I was just looking at this video. I can't tell if it is valid for that time period stated on the video though.

That sucks about the chems in the clouds

Firstlook · 01-29-2010, 08:08 AM

I just looked at the moon with a pair of regular binoculars. WOW.

Its is so clear. I cant remember the last time i seen it so bright and detailed.

peace

JudgeMental · 01-29-2010, 08:23 AM

HUGE round halo around the moon miles and miles across. Can totally verify that. Similar to this photo I Googled.

Never mind I see you pasted it from google...

Firedrake · 01-29-2010, 09:26 AM

I havent seen many, but this was the biggest halo ive seen in kirksville, Mo tonight.

At least twice as big as the google picture.

Kulapops · 01-29-2010, 11:05 AM

You might like to know that tonight, around 9pm GMT, Mars will be very close to the full moon - about a fist's width...and is quite close to the Earth at 65 million miles. Not as close as in 2003 apparently, but will still be very bright and red.

Get scanning for martians !

In any case, if any of you have an SLR camera and a telephoto lens, it should make for good pictures, so I've read...Get those binoculars out!

Happy stargazing,

K

That's it. That is what I saw in New Mexico USA on or about 1/25/10, but the moon was about half full. A huge complete circle around a half-circle object.

Firstlook · 01-30-2010, 03:32 PM

Well I took my photo at around 4:30 am. I thought could get better detail but I overestimated my camera. lol. I dont use it much.

Anyways here is how I saw the moon this morning and last night. The brightest it will be all year......

The Moon is absolutely breathtaking tonight.

At least from my location that is.

Yes I agree. Driving home from work about 5pm, it was still low in the sky, full and huge.

Beautiful

illuminate · 01-29-2010, 07:09 PM

tonight's full moon is suppose to be the biggest and brightest of the year,
I will take a pic of my view tonight and post it tomorrow.

this was from the last full moon, shot without a telephoto lens and
not so steady hands, but the aura is nice

Right about here

Phtha · 01-29-2010, 08:46 PM

Wow nice colours you captured in your photo Illum.

The clouds cleared up a bit for me last night so I had a great view of the moon, but the Halo was so big that even with the standard 18-55 mill lens I coudn't get the Halo and the moon in the picture!

Tonight if its clear I'll get the stand out and try and snap a few steady pics as well.

I look forward to seeing everyones photos.

and nice cloud shots Phtha! I take shots of the clouds and the moon
more than anything else... so much beauty in the sky and in nature.

Hello I thought I would share my picture of the moon I took last night with my 8mp cannon camara. This is in Chicago after several nights of cloud cover finally we get to see the moon. It was taken around 10:00 pm central time zone.

Stargazer1965 · 01-30-2010, 03:50 PM

I'm in the midwest and don't see any of the effects you guys are seeing.....On a cloudless night the other night ...nothing but a spectacular view of the craters on the moon

The clouds have no chembows.....I wonder what they are trying to enact or suppress out west??
